BILL NUMBER: S429
SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL:
This bill defines consumer goods in the same manner as exists in current
law, e.g. General Business Law, § 399-C, and states that contracts

of trial to be designated in either the county of the consumer's resi-
dence, in addition to other venue provisions contained in law.
