Feb. 14, 2025
ABAT needs 100 volunteers on Feb. 26 to speak with lawmakers on issues impacting the collision repair industry.

Editor's note: As of Feb. 18, ABAT has postponed this event toward the end of March (exact date to be decided, but it is shooting for Mar. 26.) Leadership has also asked that interested parties read SB 369, relating to an appraisal procedure for disputed losses under personal automobile insurance policies.

The Auto Body Association of Texas is inviting those in the collision industry to attend a day of advocacy at the state capitol.

On Feb. 26, ABAT is gathering at the Texas State Capitol Building, at 1100 Congress Ave. in Austin, to speak with lawmakers on issues impacting the collision industry. Participants will be there from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

100 volunteers are needed to visit with legislators and discuss issues including the importance of safe repairs and proper compensation.
