The DOnetwork will be producing a public education webinar for SB 1384, the “powered wheelchair right to repair” bill, sponsored by Sen. Dodd. This legislation becomes law on January 1, and it has impacts that will increase the ability for independent repair shops and individuals to access parts and equipment to make repairs on powered wheelchairs.

Here’s an overview of what will be covered:

  • What SB 1384 means for the community, and how it will be implemented in California?
  • How is right to repair working in other states?
  • What are the next steps for pushing this issue in California?

    • Invited panelists include State Senator Bill Dodd, Capitol Staff Ana Vazquez, a representative from NCART – the association for providers of power chairs and complex rehab technology, and a consumer.
