The REPAIR Act has been introduced in the U.S. Senate recently, accompanying its presence in the House of Representatives, as shared in an Auto Care Association press release.
Introduced by Senators Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), the bipartisan, bicameral legislation was recently reintroduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Neal Dunn (R-FL-02) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA-03). With the bill’s presence now in the Senate, the REPAIR Act is now able to advance in both chambers of Congress.
The move has prompted recognition from several industry organizations, including ACA, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, CAR Coalition, CVSN, Preventative Automotive Maintenance Association, and NFIB.
“PAMA's member companies and independent automotive maintenance shops around the country play a vital role, ensuring that consumers have access to timely and cost-effective repair options for their automobiles,” said Justin Cialella, former PAMA president and chair of PAMA's Government Affairs Committee. “We commend and applaud Congressman Dunn for his leadership on the REPAIR Act, a critical milestone in our industry's effort to protect consumers rights, preserve a fair marketplace with regard to vehicle telematics, and combat deceptive marketing practices."
