    The Year 2000 problem's legal repercussions require proactive action by corporate management in order to avoid liability and maximize recovery. Legal risks include the potential for breach of contract suits, class action litigation, tort exposure, statutory exposure, customer fraud exposure, and directory liability suits. A failure to act now invites liability to the corporation, its officers and directors, and may waive rights of recovery.

    January 1999 Issue y2k law Offers Disclosure Protection. By Fong Chan.The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act, signed
    http://www.nysscpa.org/trustedprof/0199/ARTICLE26.htm
    January 1999 Issue Y2K Law Offers Disclosure Protection By Fong Chan The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act, signed into law by President Clinton on October 19, limits the liability of any individual or organization that has issued or will issue any public statements or reports that deal with the Year 2000 problem. The AICPA advises that the act may provide CPAs with protection regarding publishing information on how to fix a Year 2000 problem and in situations where a client requests confirmation with Year 2000 process capabilities. Under the act, no Year 2000 statement clearly marked as a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" can be used as evidence to prove the statement's accuracy or truth in a lawsuit against the individual or business issuing the disclosure. The law also allows organizations to cooperate with each other to seek a common solution to the problem without violation of antitrust laws. The act defines "Year 2000 statement" as any statement that a person or entity makes to another or to the public that deals with an assessment, projection, plan, timetable, testing, or operational problem or solution addressing the Year 2000 problem. The protection also applies to statements made or placed on a website and to documents containing a republication of another party's Year 2000 disclosure. The law does not apply to materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and banking regulators, or information that accompanies the solicitation of an offer or sale of securities. In addition, it does not shield a business or individual who had actual knowledge that the statement was false, inaccurate, or misleading, or who acted in bad faith, with intent to deceive, or with reckless disregard as to the statement's accuracy. The protection also does not apply to any action brought by a consumer against a seller, manufacturer, or provider of a product with a Year 2000 statement expressly made in a solicitation (e.g., an advertisement or offer to sell, or a Year 2000 statement concerning a software program or service specifically designed to detect or correct a Year 2000 processing problem).

Ch 128; 1999 Tex. SB 598 SYNOPSIS: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to actions regarding certain computer date failures. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: [*1] SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Whereas, in the early years of the computer and information technology industries, programmers adopted conventions to use limited and expensive computer memory and computer processing capacity as efficiently as possible. Among those conventions was the widely adopted representation of years by the last two digits of the year. Programmers and designers of products containing computer processors continued to use this convention for a variety of reasons, including compatibility with existing products and databases, the desire to save expenses by adapting existing programs to new uses, and the anticipation that computers, programs, and products would be replaced as outdated or obsolete before 2000. (b) Whereas, many computers, computer products, and computer services are and will be unable to distinguish or process properly dates with years beginning with 2000. That inability affects and will affect the proper functioning of those computers, computer products, and computer services and the ability of those products to accurately process, store, receive, transmit, or in any way use dates or date data, which is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem.

    Economic Issues
    Companies Wary Of Y2K Law
    This fall, Congress passed and the President signed a law intended to make it more difficult for plaintiffs to attack companies, trade groups and other distributors of Year 2000 information, even if the information turns out to be faulty or incomplete. The law was designed to encourage firms to share ways of avoiding computer malfunctions if the devices misinterpret "00" as the year 1900, or do not recognize it as a valid year. Unfortunately, the law has produced scant results, experts say, because businesses fear use of the information by regulators or believe sharing information opens them to potential lawsuits.
    • The law does not bar fraud claims and does not cover sales pitches to consumers.
    • It also does not apply to pending lawsuits or restrict the Securities and Exchange Commission's ability to ask for Year 2000 information and enforce its disclosure rules.
    The law covers two types of information:
    • The narrow category, known as Year 2000 readiness disclosures, deals only with the Year 2000 status of a company's own products and services.
    • That covers, for instance, any comments by the Boeing Co. about its aircraft and any advice from Citibank about whether consumers can expect its automated teller machines to dispense cash.
