This is the best summary I could come up with:
Because California is one of the world’s largest economies, this bill may make it easier for people all over the US to repair their devices.
The law, which joins similar efforts in New York, Colorado, and Minnesota, is tougher than some of its predecessors.
Manufacturers must make available appropriate tools, parts, software, and documentation for seven years after production for devices priced above $100.
California is home to a number of device makers, most notably Apple, which came out in support of the bill after initially trying to stall it.
For instance, Google, also headquartered in California, recently confirmed that the Pixel 8 series will get seven years of spare parts — the same number the California bill mandates.
Though the bill is fairly sweeping, there are carve-outs for game consoles and alarm systems.

Because California is one of the world’s largest economies
Is that for real? I know it is the largest in the States, but in the world?
ETA:
California’s GDP in 2022 was $3.6T, representing 14.3% of the total U.S. economy. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world, and more productive than India and the United Kingdom.
If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world’s fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India.
