House Bill No. [insert number] introduces the "Agricultural Emissions Right to Repair Act," which aims to enhance the rights of owners and independent repair providers regarding the maintenance and repair of agricultural equipment emissions systems. The bill mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must provide access to necessary documentation, parts, and tools for the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of emissions systems on fair and reasonable terms. It also prohibits OEMs from using parts pairing or other mechanisms to restrict the functionality of non-manufacturer-approved parts and requires them to make special documentation and tools available for deactivating electronic locks during repairs.

Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for violations, categorizing them as unfair or deceptive trade practices under existing trade laws. It specifies that the act will take effect on April 1, 2026, and will apply retroactively to equipment manufactured on or after July 1, 2015. The legislation includes definitions for key terms such as "agricultural equipment," "independent repair provider," and "original equipment manufacturer," ensuring clarity in its application.
