AI Summary

  • Excludes ancillary anti-theft protection program warranties from insurance regulation under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 58, treating them as warranties rather than insurance contracts when offered by manufacturers, distributors, or sellers.

  • Clarifies that employer-provided mileage reimbursement and incidental maintenance for employee personal vehicles used for business purposes are not motor vehicle service agreements or insurance contracts.

  • Expands the definition of motor vehicle service agreements to include tire/wheel repair from road hazards, paintless dent removal, windshield repair or replacement, and replacement of lost or stolen keys or key fobs.

  • Becomes effective October 1, 2015.
