Provides that a manufacturer who sells an assistive device shall furnish the consumer with an express warranty that the assistive device will be free from any condition or defect that substantially impairs the value of the assistive device to the consumer. Provides that the consumer is entitled to a refund from the manufacturer if the manufacturer fails to repair the assistive device. Establishes procedures for receiving a refund. Prohibits the resale or lease of an assistive device returned by a consumer without full disclosure of the reasons for the return. Provides for arbitration of disputes under the Act, under rules adopted by the Attorney General. Requires the Attorney General to prepare a written statement of a consumer's rights under the Act and to make copies of the statement available to assistive device manufacturers, dealers, and lessors. Provides that a consumer's purported waiver of any of his or her rights under the Act is void. Authorizes the Attorney General to impose civil penalties for violations of the Act, and provides for damages caused by a violation of the Act.
