A 6943 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes standards for glass repair and calibration of advanced driver assistance systems

This bill requires auto glass repair shops to clearly inform customers when vehicle repairs involving advanced driver assistance systems (like lane assist or automatic braking sensors) need calibration to meet manufacturer specifications. It mandates shops to disclose if calibration is required, confirm it meets the vehicle maker's standards, and not misrepresent insurance coverage costs. Shops cannot charge customers or insurers for services not performed to manufacturer specs, and must avoid misleading contracts or "assignment of benefits" clauses. Violations carry $2,500 penalties per occurrence, directly affecting repair facilities and ensuring safer post-repair vehicle functionality.

MODERATE
This bill version was amended and reprinted after committee review, with minor formatting corrections and a technical fix to the text. The substantive policy content regarding glass repair and driver assistance system calibration remains unchanged from the previous version.
TECHNICAL

Minor formatting correction in the bill title section, changing 'read once and referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee' to 'again reported from said committee with amendments, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee'.

Added extra spacing in the preamble text between 'Senate and' and 'Assembly'.

Corrected spacing in section 5 by adding extra spaces before '1. Definitions'.

Corrected a typo in section 18, changing 'advanced driver system assistance' to 'advanced driver assistance system' to match the correct terminology used throughout the bill.

Updated bill identification numbers in the footer from 'A. 6943--A' to 'A. 6943--B' and from 'LBD09393-02-5' to 'LBD09393-04-5' to reflect the amended version.
