Agricultural Right to Repair Act

Amends TCA Title 43 and Title 47, Chapter 18.

Tennessee SB0499, titled the "Agricultural Right to Repair Act," mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) provide independent repair providers and equipment owners with access to necessary documentation, parts, and tools for the maintenance and repair of agricultural equipment sold in the state. The bill affects OEMs and independent repair providers, ensuring that access to parts and tools is available on fair and reasonable terms, without imposing unnecessary restrictions. Key provisions include prohibiting OEMs from restricting the installation of parts and requiring them to provide access to tools and documentation needed for repairs, while also outlining penalties for violations under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act.
