Action Alert AB 2825 (Oppose unless Amended)
Please call or contact your Senator TODAY and urge them to oppose AB 2825, unless amended.
AB 2825 treats auto repair shops as "debt collectors". Auto repair businesses are not "debt collectors", they are small businesses that service and repair vehicles for their customers. This bill is very complicated, far reaching and has many problems.
Communications with customers may subject YOU to strict liability, unnecessary fines, penalties and frivolous lawsuits.
