Special Commission on Auto Body Rates

The purpose of the special commission is to study existing practices in setting rates, and investigate the benefits and costs associated with developing a rate setting system, including but not limited to, establishing a tiered rating system for auto body rates, an average national hourly compensation rate, and use of a cost of labor multiplier for the Commonwealth utilizing data provided by the Bureau of Statistics for the U.S. Department of Labor. The commission has also been directed to report on the number of auto body shops in the Commonwealth from 2000 until present, including the number of shops that have closed during that time period.
