An act relating to the Vermont Fair Repair Act

H.161, the Vermont Fair Repair Act, requires manufacturers of agricultural, electronic, and forestry equipment to provide independent repair shops and equipment owners with the same parts, tools, and documentation they offer to their own authorized dealers. This includes making security features accessible for repairs, such as unlocking equipment. The law applies to equipment like tractors, computers, and forestry machinery but excludes motor vehicles and medical devices. It ensures Vermont residents and independent repair providers can access necessary repair resources without manufacturer restrictions.
