House advances consumer-contract bill allowing short rescission window; passes 82-4
Summary
House Bill 37 90, described by its sponsor as a consumer protection measure allowing homeowners to cancel certain contracts within up to five business days, passed the House on third reading, 82-4.
Representative Adams described House Bill 37 90 as a consumer-protection measure that "allows a homeowner to get out of a contract up to 5 business days." After explanation and a short pause to restore order, Adams moved the bill and yielded for questions; no substantive objections were recorded in debate.
Why it matters: The bill creates a short rescission window for certain contracts affecting homeowners, which sponsors framed as an added consumer protection; Adams used the phrase "up to 5 days" and later clarified it as "up to 5 business days." The transcript contains no further detail about the bill's scope or limitations beyond the sponsor's description.
On third reading the House recorded a vote of 82 aye, 4 nay and the Speaker declared the bill passed.
