This is the best summary I could come up with:
Because California is one of the world’s largest economies, this bill may make it easier for people all over the US to repair their devices.
The law, which joins similar efforts in New York, Colorado, and Minnesota, is tougher than some of its predecessors.
Manufacturers must make available appropriate tools, parts, software, and documentation for seven years after production for devices priced above $100.
California is home to a number of device makers, most notably Apple, which came out in support of the bill after initially trying to stall it.
For instance, Google, also headquartered in California, recently confirmed that the Pixel 8 series will get seven years of spare parts — the same number the California bill mandates.
Though the bill is fairly sweeping, there are carve-outs for game consoles and alarm systems.
The original article contains 207 words, the summary contains 133 words. Saved 36%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is that for real? I know it is the largest in the States, but in the world?

If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India.
