AI Summary

  • Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to eliminate the requirement that interpreters sign disclosure forms during non-English retail transactions resulting in written contracts

  • Consolidates two separate disclosure forms into a single form that only the consumer must sign, regardless of whether the interpreter is a third party or the retailer/retailer's employee

  • Requires the simplified consumer form to acknowledge that the consumer selected the interpreter and that contract obligations will be explained in the consumer's native language

  • Removes the previously required separate form for situations where consumers voluntarily chose the retailer to act as their interpreter

  • Maintains existing exemptions for credit card transactions and allows businesses using substantially similar forms since before January 1, 2002 to continue using those forms
