 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting
 certain contracts for the purchase or financing of a dog or cat from
 including provisions allowing repossession of the animal

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

 1 Section 1. Section 753-e of the general business law, as added by
 2 chapter 272 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 753-e. Prohibited contracts. No contract for the purchase of a dog
 4 or a cat or the financing of such purchase shall include any provisions
 5 which authorize the use of a dog or a cat as security where such dog or
 6 cat may be repossessed by the seller or lender contingent on the
 7 purchaser making payments under such contract. Provided, however, noth-
 8 ing in this section shall prohibit the purchase of a dog or cat through
 9 an unsecured personal loan, nor be construed to limit the enforcement of
 10 other provisions of this article, article [twenty-six-a] twenty-six-A of
 11 the agriculture and markets law or other rights or remedies which are
 12 otherwise available to all parties under any other law. The provisions
 13 of this section shall also apply to the sale of a dog or cat through an
 14 online website.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
