Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill SB 657 expands the definition of "motor vehicle" to include new self-propelled agricultural vehicles in order to improve consumer protection when it comes to warranties from manufacturers. This change means that farmers who purchase these vehicles will have additional rights if the equipment turns out to be defective, similar to protections already in place for traditional motor vehicles. This amendment is important because it helps ensure that agricultural producers have the same warranty protections as consumers of standard motor vehicles, promoting fairness and support for the farming industry.
