Changes the laws regarding consumer products so that certain individuals and businesses have a right to repair information from certain manufacturers

HB 2257 requires manufacturers of construction, farm, and forestry machinery to provide independent repair providers with necessary repair documentation, tools, and embedded software under "fair and reasonable terms." This directly affects independent repair shops and technicians who service equipment like tractors, skidders, and construction machinery, but not manufacturers' authorized dealers. Key provisions mandate that documentation (including software updates) be provided at no cost, without requiring internet access or authorization, and tools must be available at equitable prices. The law aims to make repairs more accessible by ensuring manufacturers share critical repair information and resources.
