Maryland Legislation

 

Current Regulations

General Information

HB 1199 has passed the House and the Senate on April 12th. The bill is not awaiting signature from the Governor!

 
The Maryland collision repair industry is experiencing tremendous negative effects of last year's Total Loss bill (75% threshold change). It affects not only repairers, but every driver in Maryland who has been involved in an accident.
 
WMABA, with our lobbying firm Alexander & Cleaver, is negotiating with the MVA on the regulations as well as investigating options for legislation. These efforts need your support! Read below for details.

How You Can Help
You can support these efforts in two ways.
  • We need financial support. Any amount you can give towards these activities will help us continue on into the future - this may be a several year endeavor.
     
  • Once finalized, we need you to send in a support letter to your delegate and senator to raise awareness of our issues, and so that they can further understand our viable and professional industry.
