HB 233 Alaska House · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to rates and time allowances for motor vehicle warranty work; and relating to unfair practices by manufacturers.

This bill requires manufacturers to set warranty repair rates and time allowances for dealers that are at least as high as the prices charged to retail customers for similar non-warranty work. It mandates that compensation schedules include specific definitions for labor rates and maximum billable hours per job, ensuring dealers are paid fairly for warranty repairs. The law directly affects motor vehicle manufacturers and new car dealerships by standardizing how they calculate payments for warranty service.
