Wyoming Consumer Rental-Purchase Agreement Act-amendments.
HB 268 updates Wyoming's Consumer Rental-Purchase Agreement Act to modernize rules for agreements where consumers pay to eventually own items (like furniture or electronics). It requires merchants to provide clear digital disclosures - such as termination rights and mandatory warnings about optional damage waivers - in prominent formats (10pt bold or boxed text), and allows digital agreements for online transactions. The bill also mandates separate business licenses for physical locations versus online operations and grants regulators authority to inspect records and impose fines up to $2,500 per violation. These changes directly affect consumers (by improving transparency) and merchants (by standardizing disclosures and licensing).
