The California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) announced it will host a fourth public workshop Jan. 30 to discuss proposed regulations on storage fees charged by automotive repair dealers.
The proposed regulations would bring together and clarify existing statutes governing storage fees as authorized by AB 1263.
During the last public workshop on the proposed regulations, held Oct. 17, BAR Chief Patrick Dorais called it the “third and hopefully final” meeting, saying the “regulatory workshops were intended to resolve all of the issues relating to draft regulations," though public comment was still being accepted.
At some point, the regulations will go to the state Office of Administrative Law, with a minimum 45-day public comment period.
The fourth workshop will be held both in-person and via teleconference. It can also be viewed by a live webcast.
It is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 30 at the Department of Consumer Affairs, HQ 2 Hearing Room, 1747 N. Market Blvd. in Sacramento.
The teleconference, hosted by Webex, can be joined here by using the password: BARBAG130.
