incorporates technical specifications, including engineering, quality, and testing standards to yield

fully warranted products.

Key Successes2011-2015

On Oct. 7, 2015, President Obama signed S. 565, The Federal Vehicle Repair Cost Savings Act of 2015. Remanufacturing legislation is now law.

The new law requires federal agencies to encourage the use of remanufactured parts in federal vehicle repairs when doing so lowers costs, maintains quality and performance, and does not compromise safety. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) in February 2015. One month later, in March, Congressman Bill Huizenga (D-Mich.) introduced the companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) and its remanufacturing division the Motor & Equipment Remanufacturers Association (MERA) applaud the efforts of policymakers and industry members for pursuing this effort.
