This is good news for consumers in regarding the Lemon Law in Georgia because the Georgia House Rules Committee is examining a bill that will broaden the definition of what a consumer is.
If they pass the bill and it becomes a law, business owners who have less than ten cars could now be considered consumers. Also the length of Lemon Law rights would extend to 24,000 miles or two years…whatever comes first.
Yes there is a proposed Puppy Lemon Law and yes dog lovers and breeders alike spoke out at a Capitol hearing Thursday about how business of selling dogs in Wisconsin.
The legislation is called the Dog Purchaser Protection Act. If you think about it, some breeds are pretty expensive, so it only makes sense to think that puppy could be considered a lemon.
The lemon law legislation would create a licensing requirement for breeders who sell over 50 dogs a year. Not only that but the puppy law would require the department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection establish rules for maintaining the puppy facilities.
This also creates a so-called Puppy Lemon Law, where the seller of any dog in Wisconsin is responsible to refund, replace or pay a dog’s vet bills if the puppy turns out to be a lemon and gets sick or dies within a limited time after its purchase.
