The proposed bill aims to amend Arkansas law regarding agricultural equipment by establishing a "Right to Repair" for certain agricultural machinery. It introduces a new subchapter that outlines the legislative intent to enhance farmers' ability to maintain and operate their equipment, ensure fair access to necessary tools, software, and documentation from manufacturers, and protect safety protocols and intellectual property. The bill defines key terms such as "agricultural equipment," "authorized repair facility," and "independent repair facility," and sets forth the obligations of manufacturers to provide farmers and independent technicians with access to essential resources for repair and maintenance.

Additionally, the bill mandates that manufacturers must ensure that farmers and independent repair facilities have electronic access to tools, software, and documentation on fair and reasonable terms. It specifies that manufacturers are not required to disclose trade secrets or allow overriding of safety features but must provide necessary resources for the lawful operation of agricultural equipment. The legislation emphasizes the importance of compliance with federal and state regulations, particularly concerning emissions control, while also allowing farmers to obtain tools and documentation from third parties for their own use.
