SENATE BILL No. 249

 

 

March 6, 2013, Introduced by Senators HOPGOOD, ANDERSON, PAPPAGEORGE and BIEDA and referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1991 PA 158, entitled

 

"Aftermarket crash parts act,"

 

by amending section 3 (MCL 257.1363).

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 3. If an insurer requests the use of non-OEM aftermarket

 

crash parts in the repair of an insured's motor vehicle, a repair

 

facility or installer may use non-OEM aftermarket crash parts to

 

repair a vehicle only if the insured receives a written estimate of

 

repairs that clearly identifies each non-OEM aftermarket crash part

 

and that contains or has attached to it in not less than 10-point

 

bold type the following information:

 

     "This estimate has been prepared based on the use of

 

aftermarket crash parts supplied by a source other than the

 

manufacturer of your motor vehicle. Warranties that apply to these

 

replacement parts are provided by the manufacturer, distributor, or

 

insurer of these parts. These replacement parts are not covered by

 

the vehicle manufacturer's warranty.".
