Summary

The bill changes Georgia law so that motor vehicle liability insurers cannot force claimants to use a specific repair shop, especially one in which the insurer has a financial interest. It also mandates that all repairs be performed according to the vehicle maker’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) procedures and gives claimants a private right to sue for violations. These changes aim to protect consumers from unfair claims settlement practices and ensure quality repairs.
