BILL NUMBER:S5786
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to
collision and comprehensive coverage on motor vehicles
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL: Amends the insurance law
directing that no insurer providing collision or comprehensive loss
shall require a repair facility to use a specific vendor or process
for the procurement of parts or other materials necessary for the
repair of a motor vehicle.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends Subsection (6) of section 2610 of the insurance law.
JUSTIFICATION: Currently, insurance companies have been directing
auto repair businesses to procure their parts from an online source
and will only reimburse the repair shop if they do so. The online
source only provides the repair shop with the lowest priced
replacement part, often times from out of state. These replacement
parts are most often not Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) parts
and therefore are of sub-quality and not up to the most stringent
safety standards. This bill simply allows auto repair shops to
continue to procure replacement parts from local suppliers and to
ensure that these parts are of OEM quality.
