There is legislation in the Nebraska Senate to force companies to release/sell diagnostic programs to the owner so that they can repair their own equipment. The bill/act is called " The Fair repair Act/Bill. # LB1072. It is currently stalled because of all the back pressure from BIG technology companies. This would extend to your smart phone, IPad, and many other electronic equipment. Nebraska carried the water on farm tractor data for almost 100 years. They now could do the same for the right to repair.
I know that some will say you have the right to repair now. They are technically correct but with modern computer programing if you do not have a diagnostic program your unable to actually DO any repairs.
The BIG companies are saying they will just quit selling anything to anyone in Nebraska. So lets take this movement nationally.
