WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 5, 2026) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, sent a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives in response to recent changes made to the BUILD America 250 Act, also known as the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act, or the Highway Bill.

The updated language does not include key provisions from the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act, which would allow customers and auto shops to have access to necessary information from vehicle manufacturers for repairs.

“Small businesses are disappointed to see key provisions from the REPAIR Act dropped from the Highway Bill,” said Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Principal of Federal Government Relations. “The legislation that advanced out of markup fails to make the improvements needed for small auto repair shops. In order to maintain competition in the automotive repair industry, NFIB encourages the committee to include substantive REPAIR Act provisions back into the full Highway Bill on the House floor.”
