MOORE-ACEVEDO-MENDOZA-O'CONNOR, DELGADO, MULLIGAN AND BRADLEY. (PETERSON-GEO-KARIS-MUNOZ) 815 ILCS 505/2N from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 262N Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Replaces the provisions concerning retail transactions or negotiations in a language other than English. Provides that if a person conducts a retail transaction or negotiations related to a retail transaction resulting in a written contract with a consumer in a language other than English, then the retailer must have the consumer sign a form that states whether the consumer used an interpreter other than the retailer or an employee of the retailer in conducting the transaction or negotiations. Allows the continued use of substantially similar forms that were in use before January 1, 2002. Retains the provision of current law that these provisions do not apply to credit card transactions. (Current law requires a person conducting a retail transaction or negotiations in a language other than English to give the consumer an unexecuted copy of a contract or written agreement in that other language before entering into the contract or agreement.) Effective immediately. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Makes the amendatory provisions applicable to retail transactions or negotiations conducted in a language other than English (rather than to retail transactions or negotiations resulting in a written contract in a language other than English). SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2. In provisions concerning circumstances in which a consumer uses an interpreter other than the retailer or an employee of the retailer, adds a form for the interpreter to state his or her name and other information. Eliminates a requirement that an interpreter sign the form signed by the consumer. Requires that the forms used in connection with a retail transaction or negotiations in which the retailer or an employee acts as interpreter be in the English language if a language that cannot be written is used in the retail transaction or negotiations. Makes other changes.
