Massachusetts Bill Aims to Reform Collision Repair Labor Rates

Massachusetts is currently evaluating a new bill, House Bill 1285, which aims to reform the way insurance companies set labor rates for collision repairs in the state. Introduced by Representative Edward R. Philips, the bill was referred to the Joint Committee on Financial Services, indicating progress in the legislative process. If passed, this legislation could significantly alter the financial landscape for auto repair shops and insurers, creating a more standardized approach to labor rate calculations. The implications of this bill may influence both the collision repair industry and the insurance market in Massachusetts.
