A 1311 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns right to repair farm equipment and lawn mowers.

This bill requires manufacturers of farm equipment and lawn mowers sold in New Jersey to provide independent repair shops and equipment owners with the same diagnostic tools, repair documentation, and software updates they give to their own authorized repair centers. It mandates that parts, tools, and documentation be sold at "fair and reasonable terms" based on actual costs and market rates, excluding research costs. The law specifically covers farm equipment (like tractors and combines) but excludes regular vehicles, and protects trade secrets while ensuring owners can access security reset documentation. It does not force manufacturers to sell equipment but requires them to make necessary repair resources available to independent providers.
