Assembly Bill 147 aims to establish the right to repair agricultural equipment by mandating that manufacturers provide necessary documentation, data, embedded software, firmware, parts, and tools to equipment owners and independent service providers upon request. The bill defines "equipment" as items primarily used in farming operations, excluding certain vehicles and machinery. It stipulates that manufacturers must offer these resources at fair costs and terms, ensuring that they do not impose unreasonable restrictions or obligations on the repair providers or owners. Notably, the bill allows manufacturers to protect their trade secrets while still ensuring that essential information for repairs is accessible.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that exempt manufacturers and equipment dealers from liability for damages resulting from improper repairs conducted by independent providers or owners. It also specifies that any contractual terms that attempt to waive or limit the manufacturer's obligations under this law will be deemed void and unenforceable. Overall, Assembly Bill 147 seeks to enhance the repairability of agricultural equipment, promoting fair access to necessary resources while balancing the protection of manufacturers' proprietary information.
