Bill > A06943

This bill establishes comprehensive standards for motor vehicle glass repair facilities that handle advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), requiring them to follow specific consumer protection and operational guidelines. The legislation defines key terms like ADAS (electronic safety systems designed to increase vehicle safety and reduce crash losses) and mandates that glass repair shops inform consumers about necessary system calibration when repairing or replacing vehicle glass. Repair facilities must provide detailed, itemized descriptions of work, disclose whether a vehicle has an ADAS and if recalibration is required, and cannot misrepresent insurance coverage. The bill prohibits shops from billing for services not performed to manufacturer specifications, bans assignment of benefits provisions in consumer agreements, and prevents shops from offering inducements for insurance claims. Glass repair facilities must either perform proper ADAS recalibration or direct consumers to qualified specialists who can do so, and they face a penalty of $2,500 per violation for non-compliance. The law aims to ensure transparency, protect consumers, and maintain the safety and functionality of advanced vehicle safety systems during glass repair and replacement.
