California's Governor Schwarzenegger signs SB 234

California's SB 234, chapter, Corbett. Consumer warranties: members of the Armed Forces.

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act provides consumer warranty protection to buyers of various products, including new and used motor vehicles. That law requires every manufacturer of consumer goods sold in California for which the manufacturer has made an express warranty to maintain sufficient service and repair facilities, as specified, to carry out the terms of the warranties. This bill would permit a member of the Armed Forces, as defined,who is stationed in or a resident of this state at the time he or she purchased a motor vehicle, as defined, with a manufacturer's express warranty, in the United States from a manufacturer who sells motor vehicles in this state or its agent or when he or she filed an action under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, to exercise his or her rights under that act, regardless of in which state the vehicle is purchased or registered.

Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 234 (Corbett) into law. The new law will take effect January 1, 2008. Read full text of bill.
