INTRODUCED AS NONCONTROVERSIAL RESOLUTION UNDER RULE 35,
MAY 11, 2004
A RESOLUTION
1 Designating June 12, 2004, as "Automotive Service Professionals
2 Day" in Pennsylvania.
3 WHEREAS, Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to
4 distinguish between competent and incompetent automotive
5 mechanics, and, in response to this dilemma, the independent
6 nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence
7 (ASE) was established in 1972; and
8 WHEREAS, ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle
9 repair and service through the testing and certification of
10 repair and service technicians and professionals; and
11 WHEREAS, At present, about 420,000 automotive repair and
12 service providers are certified to work in the various segments
1 of the automotive industry and to provide motorists with the
2 best possible vehicle repair and service; and
3 WHEREAS, In a culture as automobile-dependent as ours is --
4 for transportation to work, shopping, recreational facilities,
5 church, volunteer activities and health care and for moving
6 goods and foods to the marketplace -- today's automotive repair
7 and service providers ensure this lifestyle; therefore be it
8 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate June
9 12, 2004, as "Automotive Service Professionals Day" in
10 Pennsylvania.
