The proposed bill mandates that manufacturers of agricultural equipment must provide independent repair providers and equipment owners access to necessary documentation, parts, embedded software, firmware, tools, and data required for repairs, under fair and reasonable terms. It defines key terms such as "agricultural equipment," "authorized repair provider," and "data," and outlines the obligations of manufacturers to ensure that repair services can be performed without undue restrictions. Additionally, the bill specifies that manufacturers are not required to disclose trade secrets but must still provide essential resources for repairs, even if those resources could be considered proprietary.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that independent repair providers are prohibited from making modifications that would deactivate safety systems or violate compliance with safety and emissions laws. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining safety standards while allowing for repairs to be conducted by independent entities. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the repairability of agricultural equipment, promoting competition and consumer choice in the repair market.
