Senate Bill 8 introduces a new subchapter XI to Chapter 218 of the Wisconsin statutes, establishing a "lemon law" for implements of husbandry. This law mandates that if an implement of husbandry has a defect that significantly impairs its use, value, or safety and is covered by an express warranty, the manufacturer, lessor, or authorized dealer must repair the defect upon notification from the consumer. If the same defect has been unsuccessfully repaired at least four times or if the implement is out of service for a total of 30 days due to warranty issues, the consumer is entitled to either a replacement implement or a full refund.

The bill outlines specific definitions, including "nonconformity," "consumer," and "out of service," and details the processes for repair, replacement, and refund. It also includes provisions for collateral costs incurred by the consumer and stipulates that manufacturers cannot sell or lease nonconforming implements without disclosing their status. Additionally, the bill allows manufacturers to request a sales tax refund from the Department of Revenue for any sales tax refunded to consumers under this new law. Overall, the legislation aims to protect consumers by ensuring that they receive functional implements of husbandry that meet warranty standards.
