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 require appraisers, whether employed by a repair shop, insurer, or acting independently, to notify the vehicle owner if the vehicle no longer meets safety or emissions standards. The notice must direct the owner to have the vehicle repaired to pass the required standards and obtain a new inspection certificate. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles is tasked with promulgating rules and regulations to implement and enforce this new requirement.
