 Committee on Insurance

 AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to collision or compre-
 hensive coverage on motor vehicles

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 2610 of the insurance law is amended by adding a
 2 new subsection (d) to read as follows:
 3 (d)(1) No insurer in processing any such claim, shall limit the
 4 payment of such claim for damage to a motor vehicle repair based on
 5 pricing caps for labor, parts, paint or repair materials. All elements
 6 of such a claim for damages shall be negotiated with the insured, or
 7 their designated representative, by a duly licensed appraiser.
 8 (2) If a recommendation or suggestion of an automotive repair facility
 9 is made by the insurer, and accepted by the claimant, the insurer shall
 10 cause the damaged vehicle to be restored to its condition immediately
 11 prior to the loss at no additional cost to the claimant other than
 12 deductions stated in the policy. Should the insurer fail to restore the
 13 vehicle to its condition immediately prior to the loss, the insurer
 14 shall at no additional expense to the claimant cause the vehicle to be
 15 restored to its condition immediately prior to the loss at a shop of the
 16 claimant's choice.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
 18 ing the date on which it shall have become a law and shall apply to all
 19 policies and contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered or amended on
 20 or after such effective date. Effective immediately, the addition,
 21 amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the
 22 implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be
 23 made and completed on or before such effective date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
