relative to consumer guarantee contracts.

This bill updates New Hampshire laws regarding manufacturer service contracts, commonly known as consumer guaranty contracts, to provide greater consumer protection. It requires companies selling these contracts to register with the state, file their contract forms for public review, and stop using misleading marketing tactics such as fake checks or false price increase notices. The legislation also prohibits unfair discrimination, mandates fair handling of claims, and bans contract terms that would prevent consumers from enforcing their rights in court. Effective January 1, 2025, these rules apply to all service contracts covering property located within the state.
