Assembly Bill 147 aims to establish the "right to repair" for agricultural equipment in Wisconsin. The bill mandates that agricultural equipment manufacturers must provide owners and independent service providers with access to necessary documentation, data, embedded software, firmware, parts, and tools upon request, under fair costs and terms. The definition of "equipment" is specified to include various farming machinery, while excluding vehicles primarily used for transportation. The bill also clarifies that manufacturers are not required to disclose trade secrets and are exempt from liability for damages resulting from improper repairs conducted by independent providers.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for manufacturers, including the obligation to make available any relevant updates to documentation and tools necessary for servicing equipment. It emphasizes that manufacturers cannot refuse to provide information on the grounds of trade secrets if it is essential for repair services. Furthermore, any contractual terms that attempt to waive or limit these obligations are deemed void and unenforceable. The legislation aims to enhance repair accessibility and promote fair competition in the agricultural equipment market.
