Amend the bill by striking out all of sections 3 and 4 and inserting the following:

summary

This amendment is the minority report of the committee. It replaces the requirement of a seller's informing its employees of the State's implied warranty laws with the requirement that, beginning November 1, 2008, a seller of consumer goods who also offers for sale service contracts, with the exception of new and used motor vehicles, post a notice for buyers of consumer goods that summarizes in plain language the consumer’s implied warranty rights. It requires the notice to be posted in a prominent location where the consumer goods are sold, in boldface type and in nontechnical language that is understandable by the general public.

The amendment also requires the Attorney General to publish a brochure on the State's implied warranty laws by September 1, 2008 that summarizes in plain language the consumer’s implied warranty rights under the State's implied warranty laws, as well as a model notice for sellers of consumer goods to post where consumer goods are sold, and provide both at no cost to sellers of consumer goods in the State.
