    Update - Michigan Parts Bill sent to Governor for signature

    The Michigan legislature has passed a bill that strongly limits the use of aftermarket and remanufactured parts to repair vehicles during their warranty period, or five years, whichever is less. The measure is now before Gov. Rick Snyder.

    If enacted, this bill would limit Michigan consumers’ choices about repair options, and increase prices by giving strong preference to OEM parts for repairs. The measure also would have a negative impact on existing aftermarket retail sales and manufacturing jobs.

    MERA members in Michigan can click here to contact Gov. Snyder and urge him to veto Bill 4344 today.

    If you are not based in Michigan, but have facilities in the state, please forward this message to your employees there and urge them to contact the governor using the link above.
