AI Summary

This bill requires licensed auto insurance damage appraisers to provide safety notices to the owners of damaged motor vehicles. The bill amends an existing law to mandate that appraisers must notify vehicle owners if the vehicle no longer meets safety or emissions standards established by the registrar of motor vehicles or the department of environmental protection. The notice must direct the owner to have the vehicle repaired to pass the required inspections and obtain a new certificate of inspection. The registrar of motor vehicles is responsible for issuing guidelines on the specific safety and emissions items that require this notice, as well as establishing rules and regulations for implementing and enforcing this new requirement.
