\"\"<\/a>h.4042<\/a> Eliminates insurance companies for allowing a auto glass repair company to also operate as call centers for the same insurance company. Insurance Companies have responded in this fashion to combat abusive practices by a few in the automotive glass industry.

I think h.4042<\/a> is a mandate to fix another mandate. The problem began shortly after SC mandated insurance companies to replace cracked windshields and prohibited them from allowing a deductible. If we eliminated this original mandate, insurance companies may decide for themselves if they want to provide the coverage deductible free or not. And the free market would solve many of these problems. 99.9% of the time Free market solutions work better than government mandates.<\/p>\n
