Dan Risley, ASA president and executive director, said: “We were encouraged by the interest in Washington, D.C., and look forward to continued conversations with our representatives. Most Favored Nation clauses are harmful to consumers, shops and some insurers. Michigan has recognized the damage these clauses can do in a marketplace and acted accordingly with regard to health insurance. This same reasoning should apply to vehicle repair, and property and casualty insurance. This is the single most important issue we have in the collision repair industry today.”
