MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift its legal basis from the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act to the Motor Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act and renumbered the new section from 6.5 to 9.04. The substantive policy change expands the warranty disclosure requirements to specifically cover third-party warranties (like extended service contracts) rather than just manufacturer warranties, requiring sellers to provide detailed summaries of potential out-of-pocket costs and clarifying that coverage decisions are made by the warranty provider, not the seller.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from applying only to manufacturer warranties to explicitly including third-party motor vehicle warranties, such as extended service contracts and vehicle protection plans.
REQUIREMENT
The legal citation for the new section was changed from the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act to the Motor Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act.
New requirements mandate that sellers provide a written disclosure summarizing specific costs like deductibles, coverage caps, and non-covered services when selling third-party warranties.
New provisions clarify that all claim approvals and coverage determinations for third-party warranties are made solely by the warranty provider, not the seller.
New exemptions were added stating that sellers do not violate the law if the warranty provider denies a claim or makes errors in describing coverage terms.
TECHNICAL
The section number for the new warranty disclosure provision was changed from 6.5 to 9.04.
DEFINITION
A new definition was added for 'third-party motor vehicle warranty' to include extended service contracts and vehicle protection plans provided by entities other than the vehicle manufacturer.
