Bill > S2609

This bill amends existing law to define certain actions related to the sale of vehicles as unfair or deceptive trade practices, which are prohibited under state law. Specifically, it adds a new provision that makes it illegal to sell, offer for sale, transport into the state with the intent to sell, or transfer any motor vehicle that was used in a crime of violence or has been exposed to biohazardous contamination without first providing the buyer with written notice before the sale. "Biohazardous contamination" is defined to include exposure to blood, bodily fluids, human remains, infectious disease materials, or other biological contaminants from incidents like crime scenes or accidents, or any situation where a reasonable person would recognize a biohazard requiring professional cleanup. Violating this new requirement will be considered an unfair or deceptive trade practice, and the act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
