Rhode Island H7605 amends deceptive trade practices to require disclosure of vehicles used in violent crimes or exposed to biohazards.
Rhode Island H7605 amends the state's deceptive trade practices law to include a requirement for sellers to disclose if a vehicle has been used in a violent crime or exposed to biohazardous contamination. The bill defines "biohazardous contamination" as exposure to blood, bodily fluids, human remains, infectious disease materials, or other biological contaminants. Sellers must notify buyers in writing before the sale. Failure to disclose such information is declared an unfair or deceptive trade practice. This act aims to protect purchasers from unknowingly buying vehicles with such histories.
