Overview
This bill aims to protect consumers by prohibiting consumer contracts from requiring them to waive their right to file a consumer complaint.

The legislation seeks to ensure consumers retain their full rights under New Jersey’s consumer protection laws. Essentially, it makes it illegal for contracts to force consumers to give up their ability to report problems or seek legal action.
