                                  TITLE  41
                                  INSURANCE
                                  CHAPTER 13
                          TRADE PRACTICES AND FRAUDS
    41-1328D.  USE OF PARTS -- DISCLOSURE. It shall be an unfair claim
settlement practice for an insurer to specify the use of nonoriginal equipment
manufacturer aftermarket crash parts in the repair of an insured's motor
vehicle, or for a repair facility or installer to use non-OEM aftermarket
crash parts to repair a vehicle, if the consumer has not been advised in
writing. In all instances where non-OEM aftermarket crash parts are intended
for use by an insurer:
    (1)  The written estimate shall clearly identify each such part intended
for use, and
    (2)  A disclosure document containing the following information in ten
(10) point or larger type shall appear on or be attached to the insured's copy
of the estimate:
         "This estimate has been prepared based on the use of crash parts
         supplied by a source other than the manufacturer of your motor
         vehicle. Warranties applicable to these replacement parts are
         provided by the manufacturer or distributor of these parts
         rather than the manufacturer of your vehicle.".
