BILL NUMBER:S3843
Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to providing a three day right of cancellation for purchases of recreational vehicles
Purpose
To allow consumers three days to cancel the purchase of a recreational vehicle.
Summary of provisions
Section 1--Amends the general business law by adding a new section 399-zzzz to read as follows: Recreational vehicles; three day cancellation. The term "recreational vehicle" shall have the same meaning as "house coach" as defined in section one hundred nineteen of the vehicle and traffic law.
Provides that any contract for the purchase and sale of recreational vehicle be accompanied by a duplicate "Notice of Cancellation" form attached to the contract that will allow the consumer to cancel the purchase contract without penalty or obligation, within three days of receipt of the contract; and
Section 2--Sets the effective date.
Justification
Currently, there is no "cooling off period" under New York State law that allows consumers to cancel the purchase of a recreational vehicle. This legislation would address this issue by providing consumers with an option to cancel the purchase contract of a RV without penalty or obligation, within three days from the date that contract is signed. It would not apply to the sale of any recreational vehicle which has been custom designed to the specifications ordered by the consumer.
