UPDATE: Missouri House Bill 1976 has passed OVER the Veto of the Governor. This action occurred on September 14, 2016. As a result, the bill as passed will become law on October 14, 2016. This legislation amends Missouri’s Motor Vehicle and Consumer Goods Service Contract law in the following ways:
1) – Amends the definition of “manufacturer” to now include an affiliate of such manufacturer. The legislation does not define the term “affiliate”;
2) – Allows cancellation refunds to be effectuated through the retail seller of the service contract.
3) – Authorizes the inclusion of ancillary coverages in a vehicle service contract including Tire & Wheel/Road Hazard; Windshield Crack Repair/Replacement; Dent/Ding Repair and Key/Key Fob Replacement.
