AI Summary

This bill aims to expand automobile insurance coverage options to include the diminished value of vehicles. Specifically, it would require insurers to offer optional coverage for the diminished value of an insured vehicle resulting from a collision caused by a negligent third party, in addition to coverage for loss of use. The bill also requires insurers to file a plan for the commissioner's approval to provide direct payment to the insured for the loss, damage, or diminished value of the vehicle under collision or limited collision coverage, prior to the insured submitting a claim form stating the repair work has been completed.
