The proposed bill introduces the "Agricultural Equipment Right to Repair Act," which amends Title 6 of the General Laws by adding a new chapter dedicated to the rights of owners and independent repair providers regarding electronics-enabled agricultural equipment. The act mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must provide independent repair providers and equipment owners with access to necessary documentation, parts, and tools for the diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of such equipment on fair and reasonable terms. This includes updates to information and embedded software, ensuring that independent providers can effectively service the equipment without undue restrictions.

The bill defines key terms related to the act, including "authorized repair provider," "independent repair provider," "documentation," "embedded software," and "trade secret." It clarifies that OEMs are not required to disclose trade secrets beyond what is necessary to fulfill their obligations under the act. Additionally, the act stipulates that existing arrangements between authorized repair providers and OEMs remain intact, except for any terms that attempt to limit the OEM's compliance with the new provisions.

The act allows individuals who suffer losses due to violations to seek civil damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, and empowers the attorney general to enforce the act through injunctions or other equitable relief. The act will take effect upon passage.
