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 appraisers, whether employed by a repair shop, insurer, or acting independently, must notify the vehicle owner if they determine the vehicle no longer meets safety or emissions standards. The notice must direct the owner to have the vehicle repaired to pass the necessary inspections. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles will issue guidelines on the specific safety or emissions items that require this notice and establish rules for implementing and enforcing this new requirement.
