SENATE, No. 3928
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: FEBRUARY 10, 2025
The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 3928.
This bill limits the general application of certain consumer
contracts.
Under the bill, a consumer contract for a service offered by a
company must apply solely to the service offered by the company
and purchased by the consumer. The consumer contract will be
prohibited from containing provisions that allow or require the
contract to govern the circumstances under which the consumer
purchases other products or services from the contracting company,
or an affiliate of the company, that are not offered pursuant to the
contract.
For the purpose of this bill, “consumer contract” means a
written agreement in which an individual contracts for a service and
is obtained for personal, family, or household purposes. “Consumer
contract” does not include a written agreement involving a
transaction in securities with a broker-dealer registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or a transaction in
commodities with a futures commission merchant registered with
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
