The REPAIR Act has been reintroduced in Congress this week, according to a press release from the Auto Care Association, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, CAR Coalition, and Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network.
Yesterday, the bill was reintroduced by U.S. Representatives Neal Dunn, Brendan Boyle, Warren Davidson, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, alongside 12 additional bipartisan members.
The move has been applauded by ACA, MEMA, CAR, and CVSN, and follows a recent bill presented by SCRS, ASA, and the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the SAFE Repair Act.
“We sincerely thank Dr. Dunn for his leadership in tackling this existential threat to consumers and standing up for the rights of vehicle owners and vital businesses,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. “The REPAIR Act gained significant support and momentum in the previous Congress, demonstrating the broad, bipartisan recognition of the need to protect consumers’ right to repair their vehicles. Lawmakers, industry leaders, and everyday drivers understand that fair access to vehicle repair data is essential for competition, affordability, and consumer choice. With its reintroduction, we have an even greater opportunity to get this critical legislation across the finish line.”
