The Auto Glass Bill
New auto glass coverage rule proposed in North Dakota
Auto glass insurance coverage.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would require car insurers to cover windshield damage, so drivers wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for glass repairs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, drivers could get free glass fixes, but insurers might raise premiums; now is the chance to shape how coverage works.
