What the source says

“Digital electronic equipment” or “equipment,” which is defined as: “[a]ny hardware product that depends, in whole or in part, on digital electronics embedded in or attached to the product in order for the product to function, for which the original equipment manufacturer makes available tools, parts, or documentation to authorized repair providers.” [10] Essentially, if a product relies on digital electronic elements to function, then it is likely covered under this statute. Minnesota’s law excludes: Farm machinery; Portable generators; Motor vehicles; Cybersecurity products; Medical Equipment and devices; and Video game consoles. Under Minnesota’s Digital Fair Repair Act, a violation is considered a deceptive trade practice. [11] A private cause of action for an unlawful practice may be brought under Minnesota’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. To enforce the law, the attorney general is given broad discretion and may choose to pursue a range of remedies, which include civil penalties up to $25,000.
