Guidance for Windshield Repair Professionals
How I’d use this list
- Map your markets: If you operate in any of the first five states, your customer-facing paperwork must already spell out calibration needs and costs.
- Monitor the “yellow lights”: The dozen pending states can flip to active fast, especially Illinois, Texas and New York, which have influential sponsors and insurer attention.
- Insurance-coverage nuance: Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina combine zero-deductible glass laws with new calibration language, great for consumer marketing, tricky for pricing.
- Template harmonization: Because most bills copy-paste from Utah/Kentucky, one compliant disclosure + itemized-invoice template will cover 80 % of future state adoptions (just tweak penalty references).
