Enacts the "farm equipment fair repair act"
What changed between versions
Expanded the definition of agricultural equipment to include horticulture, viticulture, dairy, livestock, poultry, beef raising, forestry, and property maintenance operations.
Changed the title of the new article from 'RIGHT TO REPAIR FARM EQUIPMENT' to 'AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT RIGHT TO REPAIR' to reflect the broader scope.
Reorganized and clarified definitions for 'authorized repair provider,' 'independent repair provider,' and 'original equipment manufacturer' to remove ambiguity about manufacturer self-repair status.
Changed the definition of 'farm equipment' to 'agricultural equipment' and removed the $1,500 minimum price threshold for equipment coverage.
Added a new definition for 'documentation' to explicitly include manuals, wiring diagrams, service codes, and other repair guidance materials.
Updated the 'fair and reasonable terms' definition to specifically address parts, documentation, and tools separately with clearer requirements about pricing, contracts, and access restrictions.
