H 525 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to insurance coverage for motor vehicle glass

H 525 requires Vermont auto insurance policies with comprehensive coverage to cover repair or replacement of motor vehicle glass (like windshields or windows) without applying a deductible or minimum charge, specifically when the claim involves only glass damage. This directly affects Vermont drivers with comprehensive insurance policies, ensuring they won't pay out-of-pocket for glass repairs if the damage is isolated to glass components. The bill defines "motor vehicle glass" broadly to include related parts and calibration of safety systems (like cameras) when glass is replaced. It applies to all new or renewed policies on or after October 1, 2026, with full implementation effective July 1, 2026.
