South Carolina added detailed false-claim rules for vehicle-glass repairs

South Carolina Code §39-5-180 took effect June 18, 2012. It prohibits vehicle-glass sellers, repairers and replacers from knowingly submitting claims for undamaged glass or services not provided, billing with false location or service dates, submitting repairs without owner/lessee/insured-driver authorization, misrepresenting price or insurer authorization, unnecessarily increasing damage or work, providing claim rebates, and misrepresenting the shop's relationship with an insurer.
