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 effectively. The bill defines key terms such as "agricultural equipment," "authorized repair provider," and "data," and emphasizes that manufacturers cannot refuse access to these resources on the grounds of trade secrets, although they may withhold certain proprietary information if it does not affect the repairability of the equipment.

Additionally, the bill outlines restrictions on independent repair providers, prohibiting them from making modifications that deactivate safety systems or alter equipment settings in violation of safety or emissions laws. The legislation aims to enhance repairability and competition in the agricultural equipment market while ensuring safety standards are maintained. Overall, the bill seeks to empower equipment owners and independent repair providers by facilitating access to essential repair resources while balancing the manufacturers' rights to protect their trade secrets.
