Illinois Senate Bill 2771 seeks to amend the state’s current definition of “vehicle protection product” by including protective chemicals and substances and excluding fuel additives, oil additives or other chemical products applied to the engine, transmission or fuel system of a vehicle.
The bill clarifies that VPP product warranties are not subject to the state’s Service Contract Law unless it is offered as a vehicle service contract. Current law already requires that VPP warranties must be insured under an warranty reimbursement insurance policy. Other compliance requirements are also applicable.
This bill has cleared consideration in the Senate and was recently received by the House.
