Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Clear notices for driver assistance glass work

If your car has advanced driver assistance, the glass shop must tell you if recalibration is needed. If it recalibrates, the system must meet the car maker’s specs. Before work, the shop must give you an itemized list of the work. The shop cannot promise your insurer will pay everything unless your policy fully covers it. If recalibration is not done or fails, the shop must tell you and your insurer. It must advise you to go to a dealer or capable facility. It cannot charge you or your insurer for the failed attempt. The shop cannot force you to assign your insurance benefits. Any contract that requires this is void. You can still direct your insurer to pay the shop.

Fines and compliance rules for glass shops

Shops that break these rules get a written warning for the first violation, up to a $500 fine for the second, and up to $2,000 for each later violation. These rules do not free shops from Article 12-A of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. Shops must keep following those rules too.

Calibration must meet car maker specs

When a shop calibrates, recalibrates, or replaces glass on a car with driver‑assistance systems, it must make the system meet the maker’s specs. A shop may use other tools or methods, as long as the result meets those specs.

When the new glass rules start

Most of this law takes effect now. Section 1 starts on the same date as the 2025 chapter that sets the glass and driver‑assistance standards. That 2025 chapter takes effect 180 days after it becomes law.
