Agricultural Right to Repair Act
HB 2847, the Agricultural Right to Repair Act, requires manufacturers of agricultural equipment (like tractors, combines, and sprayers) to provide farmers and independent repair shops with repair documentation, parts, and tools on "fair and reasonable terms." The bill mandates that manufacturers offer these resources at no cost for documentation, and for parts/tools, at costs equivalent to what they charge authorized repair providers. It prohibits manufacturers from imposing conditions like requiring shops to become authorized providers or restricting part/tool use, ensuring farmers and independent repair businesses can access necessary resources without unnecessary barriers. This bill directly affects farmers and repair businesses by expanding their repair options and promoting competition in agricultural equipment maintenance.
