Change to Calif. Insurance Code re: Car Seats

Another poster mentioned the other day that California's insurance code changed to cover both occupied AND unoccupied seats after a crash.

I hadn't heard that, so I did some googling. Turns out it's true!

The new verbiage mentions seats that are occupied or "damaged" or that was in a car that sustained a loss covered by the policy.

I know this doesn't pertain to most of you, but it does come up now and then.

Doubtful. So far only one other state requires replacement (and that's only of occupied seats, as far as I know).

I sort of have mixed feelings about the law myself, but I suppose that's a discussion not for this forum.

Yes, it was! Thanks for pointing it out. I don't think I ever would have discovered it otherwise.
