[Rare Iron]

This is the way I read it. Say you are a garage door installer & repairman, & you have all the latest tricks, technology, & experience that sets you apart from all the other service people in your area - you make a good living at it because you are so good. Now the government steps in & says you have an unfair advantage & need to share your knowledge, tricks, tools, & experience with all the others that do the same thing in your area. Maybe you are a factory guy that works for the manufacturer & you are better because you have the special tools & service manuals, plus you know your product better than anyone else. The government can step in & dictate to you that you must enable your competitors to compete with you on an even keel, & you must supply them with the means?

No matter what spin you put on this, it's plain wrong! If this bill comes to be, it will also affect the big truck dealers (Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, etc.) & I'll tell you firsthand, there is LOTS of proprietary technology & repair equipment with those guys. This is one step away from abolishing PATENTS on products - think about it.
