New York invoice disclosure legislation introduced
New York state Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky, D-16, has introduced New
York Senate Bill 1218 relating to vehicle repair shop guarantees.
The bill requires that motor vehicle repair shops provide certain
information regarding invoices and work guarantees.
The legislation stipulates:
- The invoice provided by the motor vehicle repair shop in
accordance with Subdivision 1 of the bill shall conspicuously set
forth the terms and time limit of any guarantee for the repair
work performed. Where no guarantee is given, the invoice shall so
state.
- The invoice shall further contain a statement to the
effect that complaints regarding the functional adequacy of the
repair work performed may be directed to the department, but in no
event later than 90 days or 3,000 miles of the repair, whichever
comes first.
- The provisions of this subdivision shall not be construed to limit or abridge any statutory or other right or remedy of a consumer at law or in equity.
