As a Minnesotan (but not a farmer), I’m extremely exited to see so much progress with Right-to-Repair legislation (see [0]), especially since it should benefit consumers nation- or even world-wide. If one US state passes the bill, we're unlikely to tech companies create a “Minnesota Edition” device with repair manuals only accessible to Minnesota residents. More likely, compliant businesses will offer this information freely and benefit everyone.

- kwiens 7y agoWe're down to the wire in Minnesota. If you want to see the bill happen, call your reps today. A vote could happen as soon as tomorrow, but only if the noise level is high enough.

I haven’t done this before for any issue while living in this state. I also found the full text of the bill, which is very easy to read and a lot shorter than I expected! I see nothing about when the bill might be voted upon, but I’m very hopeful it will get passed. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF1138&type=bill&version=1&session=ls91&session_year=2019&session_number=0 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF1138&type...
