Senate Bill 5771 is a Right to Repair bill specific to agricultural equipment. The bill is sponsored by Senator Rachel May (D-Syracuse) and was referred to the Senate Consumer Protection Committee, which Senator May is the chairwoman of.
The bill has been scheduled for a hearing next week on March 11th at 10:30 a.m. The hearing is a “committee meeting” where they will vote on the bill, but they will not be taking testimony. If the bill passes, the bill has a subsequent referral to the Senate Agriculture Committee.
NAEDA has submitted our position statement to the bill sponsor and members of the committee. We have also requested a hearing with the bill sponsor to discuss the bill and why we are opposing it.
