Committee reports bill to regulate auto glass repairs, require calibration disclosures

Chairman Furman introduced House Bill 929, saying the cost and complexity of windshield replacement has increased as advanced driver assistance systems have become integrated with glass and sensors. "What was once a relatively minor repair can now easily exceed a couple thousand dollars," the chairman said, and HB929 would create the Louisiana motor vehicle glass law to address unfair or deceptive insurance trade practices in that market.
