Prohibits solicitation of business based on death notices and obituaries.
This bill prohibits businesses from contacting individuals to sell goods or services within 90 days of a death notice or obituary publication for a family member or tenant. It directly affects people who have recently lost a loved one or a tenant, preventing companies from exploiting their grief for sales. The law makes such solicitation a violation of New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act, subjecting offenders to fines up to $20,000 per violation and potential court-ordered penalties. Enforcement relies on existing consumer protection mechanisms, including Attorney General actions and civil lawsuits for damages.
