AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Commissioner of the Division of Insurance to set the minimum hourly labor rate that insurers must pay on insured claims for repairs made by registered motor vehicle repair shops. The rate will be based on the average of the hourly rates paid by insurers for motor vehicle damage repairs in neighboring states, with the commissioner having the discretion to adjust the rate by up to 3% above or below the average. The commissioner will review and readjust the rate every 3 years, providing a report to a legislative committee before any new rate is promulgated. Additionally, the bill exempts the collision repair hourly labor rates set under this bill from being considered when the commissioner is evaluating programs to control costs and expenses under existing insurance laws.
