A group of eight representatives in the U.S. Congress that signed on in support of the REPAIR Act were recognized by the CAR Coalition, MEMA Aftermarket, Auto Care Association and SEMA in a recent press release.
Those representatives consisted of Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Glenn Thompson (R-PA), Brittany Pettersen (D-CO), Tim Walberg (R-MI), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Ann Kuster (D-NH) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).
The REPAIR Act aims to provide vehicle owners and independent shops with access to tools and data needed to perform proper repairs on newer vehicles. It is currently the only bill presented that addresses the limits on who can work on vehicles and also applies to heavy-duty vehicles used for freight transportation.
“As a career first responder, protecting the American people and our public safety has been one of my top priorities in Congress,” said one of the new co-sponsors, Congressman Carlos Gimenez (FL-28). “I’m proud to join my colleagues in co-sponsoring the bipartisan REPAIR Act, which ensures that car owners have access to their vehicle’s data and can make informed, cost-saving decisions on where to take their car for repairs.”
