BILL NUMBER:S2339 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to cancellation of certain membership camping contracts PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to amend Chapter 383 of the Laws of 2012 in order to provide certain protections intended to protect public safety and privacy. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends subparagraph 5 of paragraph a of subdivision 2 of section 654-a of the general business law, as added by chapter 383 of the laws of 2012 JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 383 of the Laws of 2012 allows purchasers of membership camping contracts to cancel such contracts under certain circumstances. One such circumstance involves cases of alleged domestic violence. This bill would remove the ability of campground membership operators to investigate cancellation requests in cases of alleged domestic violence in order to protect the privacy and especially the safety of those malting such requests. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None
