Full Title:
The Consumer Protection Amendment Act

The Consumer Protection Act is amended. A supplier of a consumer good designated in the regulations must make the parts, tools, software and manuals necessary to repair the consumer good (the "means of repair") available to the buyer. Subject to the regulations, the means of repair must be made available for a reasonable time period after the sale, at a reasonable price and within a reasonable time period after the buyer requests them. The supplier must disclose to the buyer before the sale if the supplier is exempted from any of these requirements.
