The proposed bill introduces a new chapter, titled the "Consumer Protection from Indemnified (Liability-Free) Products Act," to Title 6 of the General Laws concerning commercial law and regulatory provisions. This chapter establishes definitions for key terms such as "consumer," "educational institution," "employer," and "government agencies," among others. It prohibits government agencies, employers, and educational institutions from mandating indemnified products that could lead to a consumer's loss of employment, employment opportunities, promotions, or the ability to receive public or private education. Additionally, it grants consumers or their guardians the right to decline such products without facing harassment or negative repercussions.

The bill outlines enforcement mechanisms, allowing the Rhode Island consumer protection unit within the department of the attorney general to pursue cases where consumers face threats to their employment or education due to declining indemnified products recommended by employers or government agencies. It emphasizes that any provision of a contract or agreement that waives or limits a consumer's rights under this chapter is deemed contrary to public policy and is void and unenforceable. Furthermore, consumers can opt out of recommended indemnified products by submitting a written notice indicating their decision to opt out, without the requirement to provide a specific reason. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
