Bill > SB0746

This bill amends the Home Solicitation Sales Act to update and clarify various definitions related to sales and telephone solicitations. The bill makes primarily technical changes, such as replacing the phrase "pursuant to" with "in accordance with" throughout the text and updating references to specific regulatory bodies and licensing acts. It revises the definitions of terms like "home solicitation sale," "business day," and "telephone solicitation," providing more precise language about what constitutes these activities and their exceptions. The bill updates references to licensing for various professional sectors, including insurance agents and real estate brokers, and modifies how business holidays are listed. It also clarifies definitions for terms like "existing customer," "telephone solicitor," and "do-not-call list," ensuring more precise legal language. The bill includes specific exclusions for certain types of financial transactions and communications, such as those involving federally insured depository institutions and extensions of credit under various state financial regulations. Importantly, the bill is tied to another piece of legislation (Senate Bill 739) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law.
