Senate Right to Repair gains supporters

May 3, 2010

The Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act, which was recently introduced to the U.S. Senate, has two more supporters, Sens. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and John Kerry (D-MA).

The Right to Repair Act has been designed to protect vehicle owners "from a growing and potentially hazardous vehicle repair monopoly by requiring car companies provide full access at a reasonable cost to all service information, tools and safety-related bulletins needed to repair motor vehicles," say supporters of the legislation.

A House version of the Right to Repair Act was introduced last year. It currently has 61 sponsors.
