 tee on Consumer Affairs and Protection

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to a warranty for
 new consumer goods with a purchase price of five hundred dollars or

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 396-zz to read as follows:
 3 § 396-zz. Warranty for new consumer goods. 1. If a consumer good with
 4 a purchase price of five hundred dollars or more purchased in this state
 5 does not conform to all express warranties during the period commencing
 6 two years following the date of such purchase, the consumer shall,
 7 during such period, report the nonconformity, defect or other condition
 8 which substantially impairs the value of such consumer good to the
 9 manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or the manufacturer's authorized
 10 dealer as provided in this subdivision. Where any such notification is
 11 received by the manufacturer's agent or authorized dealer or seller,
 12 such agent, dealer, or seller shall, within seven days of receipt there-
 13 of forward such written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail,
 14 return receipt requested, and shall include with such notice a statement
 15 indicating whether or not repairs have been undertaken. The manufactur-
 16 er, its agent or its authorized seller shall thereafter repair or
 17 correct such nonconformity, defect or condition at no charge to the
 18 consumer, notwithstanding the fact that such repairs are made after the
 19 expiration of such period of operation or such two-year period.
 20 2. If a manufacturer's agent or authorized dealer or seller refuses to
 21 undertake repairs within seven days of receipt of the notice by a
 22 consumer of a nonconformity, defect, or condition pursuant to subdivi-
 23 sion one of this section, the consumer may immediately forward written
 24 notice of such refusal to the manufacturer by certified mail, return

 6 comparable consumer good, or accept return of the consumer good from the
