AI Summary

This bill establishes a set of minimum reimbursement rates for labor by insurers to claimants for first- or third-party motor vehicle insurance claims in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The minimum rates will be determined based on the rates at the time of the Insurance Reform Act of 1988, adjusted for inflation, and will be phased in over a two-year correction period. After the correction period, the minimum rates will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Northeast region. The bill also prohibits insurers from refusing to negotiate higher rates or from steering claimants to specific repair facilities, except as allowed by current laws and regulations.
