       Congratulations: &quot;New York state passes first electronics right-to-repair bill&quot; https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/06/ny-passes-right-to-repair-will-require-tech-oems-to-share-tools-diagnostic-info/But ... Since to my knowledge the #RightToRepair movement in the US has its roots among farmers and their access to their equipment,  it makes me wonder why the NY bill now explicitly excludes &quot;agricultural equipment&quot; (among other sectors)... ?

       See for example the &quot;Agriculture Right to Repair Act&quot; introduced by Senator Jon Testere (Montana)https://www.tester.senate.gov/?p=press_release&amp;id=8866In particular interesting: &quot;Ensure that when a manufacturer no longer produces documentation, parts, software, or tools for its equipment that the relevant copyrights and patents are placed in the public domain.&quot;
