AT A GLANCE
Nevada
Nevada's Right to Repair law protects people who depend on wheelchairs and other mobility devices. AB 407 requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair providers with parts, tools, and repair information on fair and reasonable terms, supporting mobility, independence, and access to timely repairs.
Sponsored by Assemblymember Tracy Brown-May, the law took effect on May 30, 2025. It covers manual and powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters, power-assist devices for manual wheelchairs, and other mobility devices designed for people with physical disabilities. People who own or lease covered equipment purchased or used in Nevada can exercise these rights.
The law also prohibits software-based restrictions that block working replacement parts or reduce equipment performance. Its protections focus on mobility equipment; AB 407 does not cover consumer electronics or household appliances generally.

Four examples of covered equipment are named in the law: powered wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and power-assist devices for manual wheelchairs. Coverage also extends to other mobility devices designed for people with physical disabilities.
Tell your repair story
Here is how Nevada's Right to Repair law benefits mobility-device users and their communities:
Repair supports independence. A broken wheelchair can interrupt work, school, appointments, and everyday life. Access to parts, tools, and service information gives Nevadans more control over the equipment they depend on and more options for getting it fixed.
Repair supports local businesses. Owners can choose an independent provider or make repairs themselves. Manufacturers cannot withhold repair resources through unnecessary restrictions or require independent providers to complete a manufacturer training program to exercise their rights.
Repair keeps useful equipment in service. Maintaining and repairing mobility devices extends their useful life and makes better use of the materials already invested in them. AB 407 also stops manufacturers from using parts pairing to block otherwise functional replacement parts, reduce performance, or display misleading warnings that owners cannot immediately dismiss.

What is covered?
Mobility devices designed for people with physical disabilities, including:
Powered wheelchairs
Manual wheelchairs
Mobility scooters
Power-assist devices for manual wheelchairs
Owners include people who own or lease covered equipment purchased or used in Nevada. The law does not set a minimum purchase price or a manufacture-date cutoff.
Phones, computers, household appliances, and ordinary recreational e-bikes and scooters do not qualify simply because they contain electronics. Other medical equipment is not automatically covered.
What the law requires manufacturers to provide
Parts
Replacement parts and assemblies for covered mobility equipment, including new and used parts made available by the manufacturer, on fair and reasonable terms.
Tools
Hardware and software needed for diagnosis, maintenance, and repair, including tools to program, calibrate, pair, or restore a part to full functionality.
Documentation
Manuals, diagrams, troubleshooting guidance, service codes, passwords, training materials, and relevant updates needed to diagnose, maintain, repair, or update covered equipment.
Repair access and fair pricing
When a manufacturer has an authorized repair-provider arrangement, it must supply documentation and tools free of charge. For physical copies or physical tools, it may charge the reasonable, actual cost of preparing and sending them. Parts must be offered on terms equivalent to the best terms available to an authorized repair provider, including delivery and discounts.
When a manufacturer has no such arrangement, prices for documentation, parts, and tools must reflect its actual preparation and delivery costs, excluding research and development costs.
Manufacturers may offer reasonable training or certification programs, but cannot require independent repair providers to complete them before receiving the rights granted by this law. Independent providers remain responsible for the repairs they perform. The law limits manufacturer and authorized-provider liability for damage resulting from work performed by an owner or independent provider.

Key Dates
May 30, 2025
AB 407 signed into law and effective immediately for covered mobility equipment.
Existing equipment included
No manufacture-date or purchase-date cutoff. Coverage depends on the type of equipment and its purchase or use in Nevada.
How long must manufacturers support repairs?
Nevada does not set a fixed three-year or seven-year repair-support period. AB 407 ties access to the manufacturer's repair resources and includes a specific limit for discontinued parts.
Parts still available to authorized providers
Owners and independent repair providers are entitled to access covered parts on the fair and reasonable terms set out in the law.
Discontinued parts
A manufacturer is not required to sell a part that it no longer makes available to an authorized service provider. The law does not require indefinite production of spare parts.
Repair access is not limited to the warranty period. Warranty and recall arrangements generally remain in place, but contract terms cannot waive or restrict a manufacturer's duties under AB 407.
Penalties and Enforcement
A violation of Nevada's mobility-device repair law is a deceptive trade practice under NRS 597.2697. Nevada's deceptive-trade-practices laws provide enforcement powers and civil and criminal penalties.
Under NRS 598.0999, a court finding that a business willfully engaged in a deceptive trade practice can result in a civil penalty of up to $15,000 for each violation in an action brought by an authorized public official. Other remedies and penalties may apply.
If a manufacturer denies access to covered repair resources or blocks a working replacement part, keep copies of your requests, its responses, price quotes, and device details. You can file a consumer complaint with the Nevada Attorney General and report the barrier to Repair.org below.

Resources
-
Nevadans who own or lease covered mobility equipment can request repair parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer. Start with the make and model of your device and identify the repair resources you need. Explain that you are requesting access under AB 407, now codified at NRS 597.267 through 597.2697.
You do not have to perform the repair yourself. You can choose an independent repair provider with experience working on your type of mobility equipment. Access to manuals, diagnostic software, and parts helps both owners and local repair businesses keep essential devices working.
Save your requests, responses, and price quotes. If a manufacturer refuses access or imposes a prohibited software restriction, use the Nevada Attorney General's consumer complaint process and report the problem to Repair.org.
-
Make repair documentation, parts, and tools available to owners and independent repair providers on the terms required by NRS 597.2693. Include relevant embedded-software and firmware updates, diagnostic and calibration tools, and the information needed to restore full functionality.
Resources may be provided directly or through an authorized repair provider or authorized third party. Set prices according to the law's rules for manufacturers with and without authorized-provider arrangements. Do not require unnecessary conditions or manufacturer training as a prerequisite for independent providers to exercise their repair rights.
Review parts-pairing and software systems for compliance with NRS 597.2694. They cannot block otherwise functional replacement parts, reduce equipment performance, or show misleading unidentified-part warnings that owners cannot immediately dismiss.
