A:
In California, when new legislation such as the Right to Repair Act (SB 244) becomes law, it typically includes provisions on how individuals can enforce their rights under the act. If a company violates this law after it takes effect on July 1, 2024, affected parties may have the legal grounds to take action against the company for non-compliance.
The specific mechanisms for enforcement, including whether individuals can sue directly or must follow certain procedures before filing a lawsuit, would be detailed in the text of the law itself. It's important to review the specific language of SB 244 to understand your rights and any legal remedies available to you.
If you believe a company has violated your rights under the Right to Repair Act once it is in effect, it may be beneficial to consult with an attorney who has experience in consumer protection law. They can provide guidance on the best course of action, whether it involves litigation or another form of dispute resolution. Understanding your legal options will help you effectively address any violations of the act.
