The Florida Senate

The bill creates a process for consumers and manufacturers to remedy defective farm equipment within a specified time frame that is not covered under express written warranties. Specifically, the bill

• Defines “farm equipment” as power-drawn, power-driven, or self-propelled equipment used on a farm or to transport farm products.
• Allows a consumer to report a defect to the manufacturer or its authorized service agent during the manufacturer’s warranty period or during the 1-year period following the original delivery date of the equipment to the consumer.
• Requires the manufacturer or authorized service agent to repair the equipment at no cost to the consumer to conform to applicable warranties.
• Requires the manufacturer or its authorized agent to replace the farm equipment with comparable farm equipment, or accept the return of the defective equipment from the consumer and refund the full purchase price, including all applicable taxes and fees, if the manufacturer or its authorized dealer cannot repair the equipment after a reasonable number of attempts.

If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor's signature, these provisions take effect on July 1, 2026.
