The proposed "Digital Right to Repair" bill in Florida aims to enhance consumer rights and promote fair competition in the repair market for portable wireless devices and agricultural equipment. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair providers with access to necessary documentation, parts, and tools for maintenance and repair on fair terms. The bill prohibits manufacturers from mandating that authorized repair providers purchase proprietary information if they offer more favorable standardized formats. It also establishes enforcement mechanisms, allowing for complaints to be filed in circuit court for violations classified as deceptive and unfair trade practices.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "authorized repair provider," "independent repair provider," and "manufacturer," and outlines the responsibilities of manufacturers regarding repair information availability. It mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) provide diagnostic and repair information, including updates and corrections to embedded software, at no charge to independent repair providers or equipment owners. The legislation specifies that OEMs cannot exclude security-related diagnostic information and clarifies that it does not require the disclosure of trade secrets. Violations may result in civil penalties of up to $500 per incident, with the act set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
