Bill Summary
Motor vehicle glass repair and replacement; emissions inspection; penalties. Establishes various notice requirements for motor vehicle glass repair shops, defined in the bill, and provides that a violation of such requirements is a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. The bill permits a motor vehicle to qualify for an emissions inspection waiver if such vehicle has failed an inspection and the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system is in a not-ready condition to be tested when presented for reinspection.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new regulations for motor vehicle glass repair shops, defining terms like "advanced driver assistance system" (a vehicle's electronic safety system) and "motor vehicle glass repair shop" (any business that repairs or replaces vehicle glass for a fee). It requires these shops to inform customers if their vehicle has an advanced driver assistance system and whether its calibration or recalibration is needed after glass repair or replacement, advising customers to go to a certified dealership or specialist if the shop cannot perform this service. The bill also mandates written notification to customers about the success of any calibration performed and reiterates that violations of these new provisions will be treated as prohibited practices under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, meaning they can be subject to penalties and enforcement actions outlined in that act.
