From the SEMA Washington, D.C., office
Responding to President Trump's announcement of a presidential memorandum on automotive policies, including freedom-to-fix protections for vehicle owners, Mike Spagnola, CEO of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), issued the following statement:
President Trump's presidential memorandum on Lowering the Cost of Living by Promoting the Freedom to Fix is more bold action in support of vehicle owners and automotive aftermarket industry businesses from across the nation, and an example of federal leadership on behalf of our nation's vibrant car culture. Specifically, Section 3 of today's memorandum acknowledges the need for certainty at the federal level for automotive aftermarket businesses who seek to certify the emissions compliance of their products. We look forward to further details from EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as the agency finalizes its guidance on this memorandum.
