Colorado will become the first state to advance an agricultural right-to-repair bill, allowing farmers to fix their own equipment legally. The Consumer Right to Repair Agriculture Equipment Act passed Tuesday evening in a 46-14 vote in Colorado's Senate.
The bill, a bipartisan effort, won approval in the state House of Representatives in February. The legislation is one of a handful across the country, and states from Florida to Texas have proposed agricultural right-to-repair acts.Because much of modern farming equipment is computerized and dependent on authorization from company software, a right to repair is crucial for farmers who need time-sensitive assistance.
“So, you know, not every farmer is going to do everything themselves; they may do a lot of the smaller repairs and things like that on their own,” Titone said. Lawmakers used existing law from last year's bill to provide a strong case for adding new equipment to the current statute.
