What this bill does
The bill would require auto insurers to state, when a policy is sold and at renewal, whether it covers original-brand (OEM) parts or equivalent replacement parts, and to notify owners when a repair is made. It would also require any non-OEM replacement parts an insurer uses to be equivalent in form, fit, and function to the original.
