AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE: Requires transparency of automobile repairs. (8/1/26)

This bill requires automobile insurers in Louisiana to be transparent about repair options and prohibits them from steering customers toward specific repair shops. Insurers must inform policyholders that they can choose their own repair provider and cannot offer discounts or incentives for using preferred shops. Additionally, repair shops must disclose when they use non-original parts and obtain written consent from the customer, while insurers could be held liable if they pressure customers into accepting substandard repairs.
