SB368:

Vehicle history report companies; notifications.

Bill Summary:

Vehicle history report companies; notifications.
Requires vehicle history report companies, as defined in the
bill, to notify a vehicle owner and lienholder, if any, if his vehicle
has been deemed nonrepairable or any comparable term in the records
of such company. The bill requires vehicle history report companies
to establish and maintain a process for disputing such a designation
and, if appropriate, having it corrected in a timely manner. The
bill provides that a failure to notify the owner constitutes a violation
of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. The bill authorizes the
Department of Motor Vehicles to release the name and address of the
vehicle owner and lienholder for the purpose of such notification.
