Bill Summary

Relative to requiring licensed auto insurance damage appraisers to provide safety notices to the owners of damaged motor vehicles. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires licensed auto insurance damage appraisers to provide safety notices to the owners of damaged motor vehicles. The bill amends existing law to mandate that when an appraiser determines a vehicle no longer meets safety or emissions standards, they must notify the owner that the vehicle needs to be repaired to pass the required inspection. The registrar of motor vehicles is tasked with issuing guidelines on the specific safety and emissions items that require this notice, as well as establishing rules and regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this new requirement.
