On February 28, 2023, the ABPA submitted opposition to Montana Senate Bill 501 (2023), which will adversely affect Montana drivers as it would establish a restriction against the use of alternative parts including aftermarket, recycled, remanufactured, and refurbished parts when OEM repair procedures are mandated.
The ABPA is against any repair procedure that encourages monopolistic behavior that would solely benefit the OEM manufacturer as this would further burden the consumer.
