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. This includes provisions for resetting electronic security locks or functions, ensuring that repair services can be performed without undue restrictions. The bill defines key terms such as "agricultural equipment," "authorized repair provider," and "data," and emphasizes that manufacturers cannot refuse to share this information on the grounds of trade secrets, as long as the repairability of the equipment is not compromised.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific limitations on independent repair providers, prohibiting them from making modifications that deactivate safety systems or alter equipment settings in violation of safety or emissions laws. It clarifies that while manufacturers must provide access to repair-related information, they are not required to disclose trade secrets that do not affect the repairability of the equipment. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance repair accessibility and promote fair competition in the agricultural equipment repair market.
