A bill for an act providing for the repair of a diesel exhaust fluid system that is part of farm equipment, and providing penalties.(Formerly HSB 684.)

The bill requires that farmers repair diesel exhaust fluid systems in their farm equipment. It also establishes penalties for failing to make these repairs. This legislation aims to ensure that farm equipment meets environmental standards.

Supporters of the bill argue that it promotes cleaner air and environmental responsibility in agriculture by ensuring that diesel exhaust systems are properly maintained. They believe that this will help farmers comply with regulations and improve the overall health of the community.

Critics of the bill contend that it places an unnecessary financial burden on farmers, especially those with older equipment that may be costly to repair. They argue that the penalties could disproportionately affect small farmers and create hurdles for their operations.
