Insurance: warranty: catalytic converter.

Summary

The bill changes the Insurance Code so that warranties covering a vehicle’s catalytic converter can only pay the real cost of replacing the part, plus rental and deductible reimbursements. It expands the definition of a vehicle‑protection product, requires the warrantor to carry a specific insurance policy, and forces sellers to give clear notices about marking requirements. The goal is to protect consumers from overly broad warranty claims and to clarify what is covered.
