Senate Sponsors: PHILIP AND DELEO. House Sponsors: WOJCIK-JOHNSON,TIM Short description: AUTOMATIC CONTRACT RENEWAL ACT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: 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").
