SF 573 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to motor vehicle glass repair, replacement, and insurance, making penalties applicable, and including applicability provisions.

This bill regulates motor vehicle glass repair and replacement services, directly affecting insured motorists, glass repair shops, and insurance companies. It prohibits insured persons from assigning their insurance policy benefits or rights directly to a repair shop for glass services, rendering such assignment contracts void. The bill requires glass repair shops to notify customers with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) if calibration is needed after windshield replacement, whether the shop can perform it to manufacturer specifications, and if not, to advise them to seek a qualified specialist. Additionally, shops must verify an insurance claim before starting work and provide customers with good faith estimates, updated estimates, and itemized invoices for services rendered.
