SB 323 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Attorney General rule relating to prevention of unfair or deceptive acts or practices in sale of damaged goods or damaged products

SB 323 amends West Virginia law to add a sunset provision to an existing rule governing the sale of damaged goods. The bill requires the Attorney General's rule (currently codified as 142 CSR 06) to automatically expire on August 1, 2036, without needing further legislative action. This directly affects businesses selling damaged products (like repaired electronics or discounted items) and consumers who purchase them, as it ensures the rule's requirements will no longer apply after 2036. The key mechanism is a fixed termination date, not new restrictions or penalties. The rule itself prevents businesses from misleading consumers about the condition or value of damaged goods.
