Opposed by the Automotive Service Association (ASA) and collision shops in Wyoming, the “crash parts” bill – S.F. 0095 – had been on a fast track after garnering quick approval from the Wyoming Senate.
House Bill 664 states, “An insurer shall reimburse a repairer for all repairs if a repairer follows original equipment manufacturer recommended collision repair procedures, recommendations, or service bulletins, while repairing a vehicle.”
A bill introduced in Nebraska by State Sen. Suzanne Geist would make the manufacturer of the self-driving technology liable in a crash involving a vehicle capable of the "entire driving task" and operating in autonomous mode.
The Wyoming legislature is considering legislation that the Automotive Service Association (ASA) says would negatively impact collision repairers and consumers relative to aftermarket crash parts.
Once again, legislation was introduced in the Missouri Legislature that seeks to repeal the state’s vehicle safety inspection program.
The California Senate Insurance Committee recently voted 9-1 to advance Assembly Bill 2276, with a purpose to supplement the auto body labor rate survey laws and clarify parameters and other conditions.
After Senate passage and much discussion with the House leadership, the House passed S. 2155 May 22 by a vote of 258-159, leaving the Federal Insurance Office in tact.
The Automotive Service Association (ASA) opposed the measure.
House Bill 2254, which passed in the Arizona House on April 30, proposed to increase the minimum required liability coverage to $25,000 for injuries to one person in an accident, $50,000 for all injuries and $25,000 for property damage.
Senate Bill 421 would make the crime a Class B, C or D felony depending on prior criminal history, specifics of the staged incident or if injury or death occurred.
