1951183 bc7ae2cb-3481-4e38-8f66-380dabdaa046 Q1 NORTH AMERICAN EQUIPMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS EQUIPMENT DEALER 56997 NORTH AMERICAN EQUIPMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS EQUIPMENT DEALER 2017 first_quarter AGR Right to Repair legislation is a trend that EDA has been tracking at the state and federal level. We oppose H.R. 862, known as the You Own Devices Act, introduced by Congressman Blake Farentold. We are concerned that this type of legislation has serious safety and liability concerns. There is currently a great deal of service and repair information which is made available to owners and independent service providers who want to service equipment. As such, the idea that equipment owners cannot service their own equipment is false. In fact, authorized dealers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are partners with their customers offering a wide range of training and educational opportunities to allow customers to perform maintenance and to maximize the productivity of their equipment! That said, repairing highly specialized equipment is an ongoing effort that requires both skill and continued education on the part of OEMs and authorized dealers. The service, diagnostic and repair information that is, in fact, restricted by OEMs to authorized dealers is restricted because this information requires a high degree of skill to interpret the data and perform repairs safely.
