A 441 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Increases the notice of cancellation requirements for automobile broker businesses

This bill requires automobile brokers to provide consumers with a clear "Notice of Cancellation" form attached to every contract. It gives consumers three days to cancel a purchase without penalty, or until the car is delivered - whichever comes first - and guarantees a full refund if delivery is delayed beyond 30 days (unless caused by the consumer). The form must be easily detachable and include specific cancellation instructions mailed to the broker. This directly affects consumers buying vehicles through brokers, strengthening their right to cancel transactions under New York law.
