HSB 751 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for services relating to agricultural equipment.

This bill requires manufacturers of agricultural equipment to provide independent repair shops with equal access to parts, tools, documentation, and embedded software on fair and reasonable terms - matching the most favorable terms offered to the manufacturer’s own authorized repair providers. It directly affects farmers who use independent repair services, independent repair businesses, and manufacturers of farm equipment like tractors and combines. Key provisions mandate that manufacturers provide repair documentation at no cost (beyond actual printing costs), software tools without access barriers, and parts without restrictive conditions like mandatory registration or pairing with the manufacturer. The law aims to ensure independent repair providers can competently service farm equipment without artificial barriers imposed by manufacturers.
