	Comments: New York State Attorney General's Office
		The New York Attorney General, as the chief law enforcement officer in the State, is responsible for the enforcement of the State's consumer protection laws, including the lemon laws.
		Indeed, New York was the first state in the nation to pursue a manufacturer for failing to disclose to subsequent buyers and to the DMV that a car had been repurchased under the lemon law.
		Although New York's disclosure requirements do not apply to vehicles reacquired prior to consumers exercising their lemon law rights, we would encourage that the reporting requirements to the national data base be extended to cover these "voluntary" buybacks as well.
