HA 2 to HS 1 for HB 162

This Amendment clarifies that only subsection (a) of § 2599 is an unlawful practice under § 2513 of Title 6 and subchapter II of Chapter 25 of Title 6. The other requirements of the Act are enforced by private right of action. This Amendment also provides that the disclosure required in subsection (a) and the contract in subsection (d) of § 2599 may be in written or electronic form. However, the transmission of the disclosure or contract must be in physical form if the primary contact between the parties is in person. If the primary form of communication between the parties is electronic, then the document and contract may be an electronic transmission. This Amendment further provides that on cancellation of a contract for participation in a marketing program, the multilevel distribution company must agree to repurchase only goods received within the past 12 months.
