The best chance of success for a powered industrial truck right to repair law would be to team up with those trying to enact such legislation for motor vehicles and to broaden the proposed legislation to include powered industrial trucks, construction equipment, farm equipment, etc.

HR2694 is a bill that was introduced into the House of Representatives in 2007. It has not been enacted by Congress. Public efforts are still being made to enact a right to repair law for motor vehicles at the federal level and at some state levels.

One major organization behind this movement is the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) and its Right to Repair campaign.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
