Anti-Steering Legislation Passed in Arizona
The Arizona Collision Craftsmen's Association (ACCA) recently announced the signing of House Bill 2468. This anti-steering legislation prohibits insurance companies from recommending or "steering" their insured or claimants to a particular collision repair facility. In the past, Arizona insurance companies could steer their customers toward favored facilities, thus limiting customer options. The new legislation requires insurance companies to inform accident victims of their right to select a repair facility of their choice, giving insurance companies less power over the consumer's decision."HB2468 was a hard earned victory for the consumer who now has a clear legal right to select a repair facility of their choice," stated Dan Hunsaker, president of the ACCA and owner of Dan's Paint & Body in Tucson, AZ. "The signing of HB2468 is a huge step in the right direction for the ACCA and the Arizona collision industry as a whole. Through the passage of this bill, the ACCA has shown they are a powerful force and professional industry and have demonstrated what can take place when a group of people unite under a single purpose."
