Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Glass shops face penalties for violations

Glass repair facilities face penalties of up to $2,500 per occurrence for violating the law. The penalty falls on the facility, not the customer.

Clearer safety rules for glass repairs

Effective immediately upon enactment, New York law requires glass shops to give customers an itemized list of planned work. Before finalizing a contract, shops must disclose driver-assistance systems, needed recalibration, and whether they can meet the carmaker’s standards. Shops unable to do so must advise customers to use a manufacturer-certified dealership or qualified specialist. Recalibration must meet those standards, but shops are not limited to the carmaker’s recommended tools or methods. Shops must explain whether completed recalibration meets those standards; if skipped or unsuccessful, they must notify customers and insurers electronically or in writing and recommend a franchised dealer or capable repair facility.

Stronger payment protections for glass customers

Glass shops cannot promise that insurance pays everything unless the policy fully covers the glass work and calibration costs. Shops cannot charge customers or insurers for glass work or calibration that fails to meet the carmaker’s standards. Repair contracts cannot include terms that transfer a customer’s insurance benefits to the shop. Contracts that violate this ban are void and cannot be enforced. Customers can still authorize insurance payments to the shop or pay it themselves.

New limits on insured glass repairs

For insurance-covered glass damage, shops must receive a claim or referral number before entering a repair or replacement contract. Shops and their agents cannot offer cash, gifts, coupons, or other rewards for making or directing a glass insurance claim.
