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 and documentation from manufacturers, and protect safety protocols and intellectual property. The bill defines "agricultural equipment" as machinery that relies on digital electronics and includes various types of farming equipment. It also specifies the roles of authorized and independent repair facilities, as well as the obligations of manufacturers to provide access to tools, software, and data on fair and reasonable terms.

Additionally, the bill mandates that manufacturers must ensure farmers and independent repair facilities have electronic access to necessary tools and documentation, while also allowing farmers to obtain codes and data related to their equipment. It emphasizes that manufacturers are not required to disclose trade secrets or compromise safety features. The legislation aims to facilitate the repair and maintenance of agricultural equipment while balancing the interests of manufacturers and the rights of farmers and repair facilities.
