Bill Summary
This bill permits consumers aged 65 and over up to five business days to cancel a home improvement contract for any reason. Under this bill, a consumer aged 65 or over may cancel a home improvement contract at any time for any reason before midnight of the fifth business day after the consumer receives a copy of the signed contract. Currently, consumers have up to three business days to cancel a home improvement contract. The change being made under this bill reflects the potential need of the State's senior citizens, who may require more time to review home improvement contracts due to advanced age.
AI Summary
This bill extends the cancellation period for home improvement contracts for consumers aged 65 and older, granting them up to five business days to cancel for any reason, an increase from the current three business days. This change, which applies to contracts over $500, aims to provide senior citizens with more time to carefully review these agreements, recognizing that they may need additional time due to their age. The bill also updates the required consumer notice within the contract to reflect this extended cancellation period for seniors.
