Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Stronger safety standards for car glass
Beginning on the 180th day after enactment, New York glass shops must recalibrate advanced driver assistance systems to the carmaker’s specifications. Shops can use other glass, tools, equipment, and methods if they meet those specifications. Insurers cannot require replacement glass that cannot be calibrated to those standards. If recalibration fails or is not done, shops must notify you and your insurer in writing or electronically. They must recommend a franchised dealer or qualified glass shop, and cannot charge either party for failed recalibration.
Clearer glass repair contracts for drivers
Beginning on the 180th day after enactment, New York glass shops must give customers an itemized description of the work. Before contracting, shops must disclose whether the car has an advanced driver assistance system and needs calibration to work properly and meet manufacturer specifications. Shops must explain whether they can meet those standards, or direct customers to a manufacturer-certified dealership or qualified specialist. They cannot promise full insurance payment unless the policy covers the full cost. For insurance-paid glass repair or replacement, shops must receive the applicable claim or referral number before contracting. Contracts for system-related glass work cannot transfer customers’ insurance benefit rights to shops; contracts containing that term are void and unenforceable. Customers can still authorize direct insurance payment to the shop.
Lower violation penalties for glass shops
Beginning on the 180th day after enactment, a glass shop’s first violation brings a written warning. A second violation carries a civil penalty of up to $500; each later violation carries up to $2,000. These replace the prior $2,500 penalty per violation. Shops working on cars with advanced driver assistance systems still must follow applicable state repair-shop laws and regulations.
