The bill amends the existing law regarding home solicitation sales, specifically updating the definitions and regulations surrounding such transactions. It clarifies that a "home solicitation sale" involves sales of goods or services exceeding $25, where the seller engages in solicitation that is received at the buyer's residence. The bill introduces new language to specify that certain types of sales, such as those made in accordance with preexisting agreements or at fixed business locations, are excluded from this definition. Additionally, it updates the terminology related to insurance agents and real estate brokers, aligning them with current licensing codes.

Furthermore, the bill revises the definition of "business day" to exclude weekends and specific holidays, and it refines the definitions of terms like "telephone solicitation" and "telephone solicitor." Notably, it emphasizes that telephone solicitations do not include calls made with prior permission from the recipient or those directed to existing customers under certain conditions. The bill also introduces a provision that the amendments will only take effect if another related Senate Bill is enacted into law.
