The proposed bill introduces a new chapter, titled the "Consumer Protection from Indemnified (Liability-Free) Products Act," to Title 6 of the General Laws. This legislation aims to protect consumers from being coerced into accepting indemnified products by government agencies, employers, or educational institutions. Specifically, it prohibits these entities from mandating such products if doing so would result in a consumer's loss of employment, employment opportunities, promotions, or the ability to receive public or private education. Consumers or their guardians are granted the right to decline these products without facing harassment or negative repercussions.

The bill establishes enforcement mechanisms through the Rhode Island consumer protection unit within the Department of the Attorney General, which will pursue cases where consumers experience loss or threats of loss of employment, promotions, employment opportunities, or educational opportunities due to declining indemnified products recommended by employers or government agencies. It also declares any provision of a contract or agreement that attempts to waive or limit a consumer's rights under this chapter as contrary to public policy, rendering such provisions void and unenforceable. Consumers are allowed to opt out of recommended indemnified products by submitting a written notice indicating their decision without the need to provide specific reasoning. The act will take effect upon passage.
