Farm Freedom to Repair Act

This legislation, titled the Farm Freedom to Repair Act , seeks to amend title 17 of the United States Code, specifically addressing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's (DMCA) anti-circumvention provisions. Its primary goal is to empower individuals to diagnose, maintain, and repair digital electronic agricultural equipment without violating copyright law. The bill establishes clear exceptions, stating that it is not a violation to circumvent technological measures that control access to copyrighted works when done for the purpose of repairing or maintaining such equipment. Furthermore, it explicitly permits the manufacturing, importing, or trafficking of technologies, products, or services that facilitate these repair activities. This aims to provide farmers and independent repair shops with greater autonomy over their technologically advanced agricultural machinery.
