The proposed bill, titled the "Consumer Protection from Indemnified (Liability-Free) Products Act," introduces a new chapter, Chapter 13.4, to Title 6 of the General Laws, focusing on consumer rights in relation to indemnified products. This legislation aims to safeguard consumers from being compelled by government agencies, employers, private businesses, or educational institutions to accept liability-free products, particularly under the threat of adverse consequences such as job loss, diminished employment opportunities, or educational setbacks. The bill clearly defines key terms and establishes the rights of consumers and their guardians to decline such products without facing harassment or repercussions.

Enforcement of the provisions outlined in this chapter will fall under the jurisdiction of the Rhode Island consumer protection unit within the attorney general's department, which will address cases involving threats or actual losses related to employment or education due to refusal of indemnified products. Additionally, any contracts or agreements that attempt to limit a consumer's rights under this act will be deemed void and unenforceable. Consumers or their guardians will have the right to opt out of accepting indemnified products simply by providing written notice, without the need to justify their decision. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reinforcing consumer rights against coercive practices related to indemnified products. No deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
