The first-of-its-kind legislation will force manufacturers to provide parts, manuals for diagnostic software, and other tools needed for repairs.
Right-to-repair laws like Colorado’s are crucial for farmers because tractors and other seemingly low-tech equipment, in reality, actually look a whole lot like computers in 2023. iFixit, a consumer advocacy group that supports right-to-repair efforts, says farmers are simply unable to complete many repairs that cross paths with a tractor’s emissions control system because doing so requires a specific code only available to dealer mechanics.
Supporters of Colorado’s bill, like Public Interest Research Group Right to Repair Campaign Director Kevin O’Reilly, are confident the law could serve as a springboard for similar legislation in other countries and, possibly, other sectors of the economy as well.
