AMA Supports HR 906
T
he AMA joined 24 other organiza-
tions in support of HR 906, The
Right to Equitable and Professional
Auto Industry Repair Act (REPAIR
Act), which aims to protect the right
to repair one's own vehicles.
In a letter to the House Energy and
Commerce Committee by the Auto
Care Association, on behalf of the
AMA and other REPAIR Act stake
-
holders, the group urged Congress to
pass the REPAIR Act.
Since November, Rep. Neal Dunn
(R-FL-02) was responsible for nego-
tiating provisions regarding the bill,
which included an effort to remove
motorcycles from the legislation.
The AMA worked closely with Reps.
Tim Walberg (R-MI-05) and Troy
Balderson (R-OH-12) to ensure that
all language regarding motorcycles
remained in the proposed bill.
"It is imperative that all language
regarding motorcycles remain in the
REPAIR Act, and thanks to the work
done by Reps. Dunn, Walberg and
Balderson, and their willingness to
work with the AMA on this issue, mo
-
torcycles remain at the forefront of
conversations surrounding the right
to repair," AMA Government Rela-
tions Director Nick Haris said. "This
bill could have immense implications
for the future of motorcycling, and
we continue to support all efforts to
allow motorcyclists to repair their
vehicles as they see fit."
HR 906, the REPAIR Act, is a piece
of bipartisan legislation—with 56
cosponsors evenly divided between
Republicans and Democrats—which
would protect consumer and inde
-
pendent business access to afford-
able vehicle repair and equal access
to the necessary parts, maintenance
tools, components and data to com-
plete repairs.
