    Maine’s right to repair law is slowly making progress to being implemented, reports CBS 13 News.

    Though the law was passed by around 84% of Maine voters last year, it has faced roadblocks in its implementation since then.

    Now, a small group of lawmakers is reportedly meeting to hash out the details of how the law will be enforced. A meeting was held last week in Augusta, with several more to follow before a final report and recommendations are submitted to the Legislature.

    “We are looking forward to giving Maine consumers the right to choose who repairs their motor vehicles as soon as possible,” said Right to Repair working group member Mark Gallagher.
