The Maryland state legislature recently passed S.B. 793, a bill establishing consumer protections related to the repair or replacement of glass on motor vehicles equipped with an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS).
The bill states that before repairing or replacing motor vehicle glass, if the vehicle is equipped with ADAS, a motor vehicle safety glass facility (someone who repairs or replaces vehicle glass and provides recalibration of ADAS) shall:
- inform the customer if the recalibration of an ADAS system is required
- provide the customer a written statement that the work to be performed on the vehicle will meet or exceed OEM specifications
The law will take effect Oct. 1, 2023.
