The legislation will next be considered by the full House. H.R. 1613, introduced to the House by Congressmen Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.) and Brad Ashford (D-Neb.), requires federal agencies to encourage the use of remanufactured parts when doing so lowers costs, maintains quality and performance, and does not compromise safety. The House Bill's companion legisla- tion, S.565, was passed by the full Senate in June after being introduced by Sena- tors Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.). The bipartisan, companion legisla- tion followed a 2013 report by the Government Accountability Offi ce (GAO) which confi rmed the benefi ts of remanufactured motor vehicle parts. The federal government has more than 580,000 vehicles in its agency fl eets, and spends $975 million per year on vehicle maintenance. Next steps include gaining additional co-sponsors for H.R. 1613.
