|---|
| 18 | 18 | | the seventh day after the date the purchaser receives the notice. A |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | purchaser may terminate the contract under this subsection only if |

|---|
| 33 | 33 | | Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | Act takes effect September 1, 2025. |
