What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, subject to several exceptions, a contract for the lease of

business equipment or for providing business services may not be automatically

renewed or extended unless certain disclosures are made to the customer at the time

the contract is entered into and the seller provides a reminder notice satisfying

certain requirements to the customer near the end of the contract period.

This bill specifies that the disclosure and reminder notice requirements for

automatic renewal or extension of business equipment or services contracts do not

apply to a contract for the supply of industrial, medical, or other gases, including for

the lease, service, or use of equipment involved in supplying the gases.
