PHILIP AND DELEO. (WOJCIK-JOHNSON,TIM) New Act Creates the Automatic Contract Renewal Act. Provides that, if a written contract is subject to automatic renewal, the clause providing for automatic renewal must appear in the contract in at least 14-point bold type. Provides that, if a contract does not comply with the Act, the automatic renewal provisions are not enforceable by a party who prepared the contract or directed its preparation. The Act does not apply to any agreement to which the federal government, this State or another state, a unit of local government, or a school district is a party. The Act does not apply to a contract entered into before the effective date of the Act. GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE Recommends that an automatic renewal clause in a contract must appear in "a clear and conspicuous manner" (rather than "at least 14-point bold type"). 99-02-26 S FIRST READING 99-02-26 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-03-03 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 99-03-11 S DO PASS 011-000-001 SEXC 99-03-11 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 99-03-16 99-03-11 S ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR DELEO 99-03-16 S SECOND READING 99-03-16 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 99-03-17 99-03-23 S THIRD READING - PASSED 058-000-000 99-03-23 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 99-03-23 H PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 99-03-24 H HOUSE SPONSOR WOJCIK 99-03-25 H FIRST READING 99-03-25 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-04-14 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUD-CIVIL LAW 99-04-28 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 011-000-000 HJUA 99-04-28 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-04 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-04 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-05 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR JOHNSON,TIM 99-05-05 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 115-002-000 99-05-05 S PASSED BOTH HOUSES 99-06-03 S SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 99-07-30 S GOVERNOR AMENDATORY VETO 99-11-04 S PLACED CALENDAR AMENDATORY VETO NOVEMBER 16, 1999 99-11-04 S MOTION FILED ACCEPT AMENDATORY VETO PHILIP 99-11-16 S ACCEPT AMENDATORY VETO - SENATE PASSED 058-000-000 99-11-18 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 99-11-18 H PLACED CALENDAR AMENDATORY VETO NOVEMBER 30, 1999 99-12-01 H MOTION FILED ACCEPT AMENDATORY VETO #1/WOJCIK 99-12-01 H MOTION REFERRED TO HRUL 99-12-01 H APPROVED FOR CONSIDERATION - COMPLIANCE HRUL 99-12-01 H 3/5 VOTE REQUIRED 99-12-01 H ACCEPT AMENDATORY VETO - HOUSE PASSED 117-000-000 99-12-01 S BOTH HOUSES ACCEPT AMENDATORY VETO 99-12-06 S RETURNED TO GOVERNOR FOR CERTIFICATION 99-12-22 S GOVERNOR CERTIFIES CHANGES 99-12-22 S EFFECTIVE DATE 00-06-01 99-12-22 S PUBLIC ACT.............................. 91-0674 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
