Bill Summary

Generally revise laws related to agricultural equipment repair

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Agricultural Right to Repair Act," aims to require original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of electronics-enabled agricultural equipment to make documentation, parts, and tools available to independent repair providers and equipment owners on fair and reasonable terms. The bill defines key terms such as "electronics-enabled implements of husbandry," "embedded software," and "independent repair provider." It also specifies that OEMs must provide access to information and resources needed to disable and reset electronic security locks or functions, and prohibits OEMs from requiring authorized repair providers to waive their obligations under the act. The bill grants the Department of Justice the authority to enforce violations of these provisions as unfair competition and unfair practices.
