Missouri Repairers Urged to Show Support for Shop Licensing Bill

A hearing has been scheduled for Missouri S.B. 709, a bill that would create licensing procedures for autobody repair facilities and physical damage appraisers, in Jefferson City, Mo., on Monday, April 12, at 2 p.m. in Senate Lounge.

The Automotive Service Association of Missouri and Kansas (ASA MoKan) is urging its members to attend the hearing to support the bill’s passage.

"We need numbers to show support for this bill. Help fill the Senate Lounge to show that the industry is behind this new licensing program that will help raise the professionalism and safety of the collision repair industry," an announcement from ASA MoKan says.
 
If you are interested in attending, contact Ben Steinman, ASA MoKan Collision Division chair, at (573) 581-2277, or Bob Smith, ASA MoKan Collision Division director, at (816) 519-5858.

Perhaps last month's Guess the Car got you singing, "New York, New York," by Frank Sinatra, or "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel. If it didn't, you may have had a hard time guessing what the guy was talking about when he was pining for the Big Apple after moving to New Jersey. A coworker who bought an old gold early 1980s Chrysler New Yorker inspired us to create last month's brain bender, the answer to which, of course, was New Yorker = (Chrysler) New Yorker.
