INSURANCE: Creates the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Glass Law

The bill header was changed from 'HB929 Enrolled' to 'HB929 Original', indicating a status update rather than a policy change.

The list of sponsors was shortened from 'Representatives Firment and Green' to just 'Representative Firment'.

Minor formatting changes were made to the text, including adjusting spacing around punctuation in the act title and renumbering lines to reflect the new page count.

Added a new section defining 'advanced driver assistance system' to ensure the law covers modern vehicle safety technology during glass repairs.

Formally defined 'motor vehicle glass' to include non-glass parts associated with windshield, door, or window replacement.

Explicitly prohibited repair shops from offering rebates, gifts, or cash incentives to insureds in exchange for directing insurance claims.

Banned shops from charging fees for glass repair that are higher than those reasonably and customarily charged in the state.

Prohibited advising insureds to falsify damage dates or misrepresent the location of repairs to increase insurance payouts.

Made it illegal to falsely sign insurance forms or claim that an insurer has approved a repair without verifying that approval directly with the insurance company.

Banned shops from stating that an insurer will pay for the entire repair at no cost to the insured unless that coverage has been verified.

Prohibited shops from intentionally damaging a vehicle or performing unnecessary work to increase the scope of a repair claim.

The bill was converted from an engrossed draft to an enrolled final version, resulting in a page count reduction from 7 to 6 and the removal of legislative tracking numbers.
