WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Automotive Service Association (ASA) will host a Capitol Hill Fly-In for ASA collision members July 28-29 in Washington, D.C., allowing members to meet with policymakers to discuss industry issues, including two of the most important issues for the collision repair industry –  the future of insurance regulation and how the federal government may address automotive parts policy.

Congress has reviewed the state of insurance regulation in recent years and held numerous public hearings. Parts policy will be debated in the Congress as part of patent reform or other legislative initiatives.

“Our ASA collision members do a great job communicating with Congress on various issues,” says Bob Redding, ASA’s Washington, D.C., representative. “This Congress is taking a serious look at insurance reform, and our ASA leadership wants to exhaust every possible avenue to ensure members of Congress are aware of the collision repair industry’s position.”

ASA will assist its collision members in scheduling key appointments on Capitol Hill to meet with policymakers. To register for ASA’s Capitol Hill Fly-in, visit www.TakingTheHill.com or contact the Collision Division at (800) ASA-SHOP (272-7467), ext. 236. You can also e-mail Denise Caspersen at [email protected].

Travel and hotel accommodations are the responsibility of each participant. However, the ASA Capitol Hill Fly-In is being held during the week of I-CAR’s 30th Annual Industry Conference. For those who choose to participate in the ASA and I-CAR events, the I-CAR host hotel is the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. To register for the I-CAR event and take advantage of two collision industry events in one trip, visit www.I-CAR.com. A separate registration form is required for each event.
