AI Summary

It requires retailers to prominently display their exchange policies for these open-box items, with the notice in large black text. The bill also makes a retailer's failure to comply with this open-box item policy an unfair trade practice. The changes are intended to provide more transparency for consumers purchasing discounted open-box merchandise.
