FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act
Key claim: The FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act (HR9364) would address delays in wheelchair repairs and was referred to the House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce committees.
Abstract
(HR9364 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-18): Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why this matters
Wheelchair users frequently face weeks- or months-long waits for repairs due to insurance prior-authorization requirements and limited repair networks, effectively depriving them of mobility and independence during that time. The FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act would target these coverage-driven delays, making it a disability-access reform focused on the practical functionality of assistive devices rather than on device eligibility itself.
