Seems well-intentioned but inept, in that it only applies to "digital electronic equipment." Why?

Why?
- basisword 4y agoProbably to get it passed. Include more things and you need to convince more people/lobbyists and you’ll never get anything through.
- ImprobableTruth 4y agoPick your battles. No way this would have passed if they had also included e.g. farm equipment.
- acomjean 4y agoI don't understand the Farm Equipment exemption. Its not like NY manufactures farm equipment. Its a big enough market that I doubt any companies would want to leave.
- formerkrogemp 4y agoRural NY has many farmers. Like any other state. State laws can propagate to other states if left unchecked by corporate representatives. Our legislatures don't represent the interests of the people as well as they probably should.
- nerdponx 4y agoAll the more reason it's offensive, because it's not like John Deere is some major economic value creator in New York. I would love to know what back room quid-pro-quos were involved in this.
- NonNefarious 4y agoI would argue (and I hope someone else does) that "digital electronic equipment" applies to such equipment no matter where it is, including on a tractor.
- jbverschoor 4y agoProbably safety.. low voltages devices. 'Safety' was a big argument for those against.
