SEC. 2. EFFECTIVENESS
This Act shall be effective upon completion of the constitutionally-required process.

SEC. 4. AMENDMENT
(a) Section III(a)(ix) of the Revised Contracts Act of 2023 does not currently exist, but shall be created and state:
“(ix) No contract may be unconscionable, or otherwise absurdly unreasonable or unfair to one party. In determining the reasonableness of a contract, a court may consider the adequacy of consideration, but consideration shall not be an absolute bar to unconscionability.”
(b) Section III(a)(viii) of the Revised Contracts Act of 2023 currently states:
“(viii) The contract, should it be written, must include an exit clause, which shall specify the conditions and requirements for termination of the contract, and such requirements shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties involved in the contract.”
(b) Section III(a)(viii) of the Revised Contracts Act of 2023 shall be amended to state:
“(viii) The contract, should it be written, must include an exit clause, which shall specify the conditions and requirements for termination of the contract, and such requirements shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties involved in the contract. Unless it provides otherwise, a verbal contract may be exited by any party at any time, and any obligations already met must be compensated, or it shall be a breach of contract.”
