CHAPTER 182

 

An Act concerning the sale of certain used vehicles and amending P.L.1971, c.76.

 

     Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

 

     1.    Section 4 of P.L.1971, c.76 (C.39:10-29) is amended to read as follows:

 

C.39:10-29  Waiver of dealer’s obligation; effect.

     4.    Any agreement of retail sale may contain a provision whereby the purchaser waives the dealer's obligation under section 2 of P.L.1971, c.76 (C.39:10-27); provided, however, a waiver shall be separately stated in the agreement of retail sale and separately signed by the purchaser, and further provided that such a waiver shall include a brief description of known defects that may need to be resolved in order to obtain a certificate of approval for the motor vehicle pursuant to R.S.39:8-2 or R.S.39:8-3.  The signing of a waiver by the purchaser shall also serve to eliminate any criminal responsibility placed upon any motor vehicle dealer by P.L.1971, c.76 (C.39:10-26 et seq.).

 

     2.    This act shall take effect on the first day of the third month following enactment.
