Permits consumers aged 65 and over up to five business days to cancel home improvement contracts.
This bill extends the cancellation period for home improvement contracts to seniors. It allows consumers aged 65 or older to cancel such contracts for any reason within five business days (up from three days) after receiving a signed copy, instead of the current three-day window. To cancel, seniors must provide written notice via certified mail or in person, and contractors must refund all payments within 30 days. The law applies to contracts exceeding $500 and requires clear cancellation notices in the contracts themselves.
