  1  3    2.  The damage disclosure statement required by this
  1  4 section shall, at a minimum, state the total retail dollar
  1  5 amount of all damage to the vehicle during the period of the
  1  6 transferor's ownership of the vehicle and whether the
  1  7 transferor knows if the vehicle was titled as a salvage or
  1  8 flood vehicle in this or any other state prior to the
  1  9 transferor's ownership of the vehicle.  For the purposes of
  1 10 this section, "damage" refers to damage to which affected the
  1 11 mechanical operation of the vehicle which was caused by fire,
  1 12 vandalism, collision, weather, falling objects, submersion in
  1 13 water, or flood, where the cost of repair is three thousand
  1 14 dollars or more per incident, but does.  "Damage" does not
  1 15 include normal wear and tear, glass damage, or mechanical

  1 18 submersion in water, or flood.  "Damage" does not include the
  1 19 cost of repairing, replacing, or reinstalling an inflatable
  1 20 restraint system.  A determination of the amount of damage to
  1 21 a vehicle shall be based on estimates of the retail cost of
  1 22 repairing the vehicle, including labor, parts, and other
  1 23 materials, if the vehicle has not been repaired or on the
  1 24 actual retail cost of repair, including labor, parts, and
  1 25 other materials, if the vehicle has been repaired.  Only
  1 26 individual incidents in which the retail cost of repairs is
  1 27 three thousand dollars or more are required to be disclosed by
  1 28 this section.  If the vehicle has incurred damage of three
  1 29 thousand dollars or more per incident in more than one
  1 30 incident, the damage amounts must be combined and disclosed as
  1 31 the total of all separate incidents.  
  1 32                           EXPLANATION
  1 33    This bill provides that motor vehicle damage disclosure
  1 34 statements are required only when the damage to the motor
  1 35 vehicle affected the mechanical functioning of the motor
  2  1 vehicle.
