						<section><p>Whenever in any case not otherwise specifically provided for the value of an automobile is in <span class="dictionary">issue</span>, either civilly or criminally, the tabulated retail values set forth in the National Automobile Dealers&#x2019; Association (NADA) &#x201C;yellow&#x201D; or &#x201C;black&#x201D; books, the J.D. Power Official Used Car Guide, or any vehicle valuation service regularly used and recognized in the automobile industry that is in effect on the relevant date, shall be <span class="dictionary">admissible</span> as <span class="dictionary">evidence</span> of fair market value on the relevant date.
		The determination of value shall be subject to such other creditable <span class="dictionary">evidence</span> as any <span class="dictionary">party</span> may offer to demonstrate that the value as set forth in the NADA or J.D. Power publication or any vehicle valuation service utilized by another <span class="dictionary">party</span> fails to reflect the actual condition of the vehicle and that therefore the value may be greater or less than that shown by the NADA or J.D. Power publication or any vehicle valuation service.</p></section></text><history>1993, c. 759; 2006, c. 402; 2024, c. 480.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
