Under current law, an original equipment manufacturer of
agricultural equipment or a powered wheelchair is required, upon request, to provide parts, tools, documentation, and other resources to independent repair providers and owners of the manufacturer's agricultural equipment or powered wheelchairs to facilitate an independent repair provider's or owner's diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of a piece of agricultural equipment or a powered wheelchair (right-to-repair statutes).
The bill expands the right-to-repair statutes to digital electronic
equipment and adds exemptions for various types of digital electronic equipment, including motor vehicles, medical devices other than powered wheelchairs, and certain construction- and energy-related equipment.
