I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet, but Lewis Rossmann's comments are usually very helpful for things like this. I don't know what apple is playing at.

Apples policy’s won’t change much. Anything considered a “security” feature or part doesn’t have to made available or can be bundled into a “package”. Speciality tools and schematics don’t need to be made available etc. same watered down stuff as usual. Apple wants the positive PR of seeming like they are on the right side of right to repair.
From the comment section on YouTube
"Further, the bill has a component that prevents manufacturers from being required to make tools, parts, and documentation available for any component that would disable or override antitheft security measures, which would encompass features like Face ID." Apple isn't giving away the farm. As long as they consider it security-sensitive, they don't have to share it with anyone.
Still can’t edit on mobile yet. :(
