1. What will your legal rights be in 2000? 2. Will all company's try to hide behind Y2K clauses they have put into place? 3. Can you afford an Attorney? 4.If you are marketing products are you covered personally? 5. "The Year 2000 Readiness and Responsibility Act" , In an effort to head off a potential avalanche of lawsuits caused by Y2K glitches, a bipartisan group of House members yesterday introduced a bill to address litigation issues. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has introduced a similar bill, and Sens. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) plan to announce their version today.

* Although the House bill has the support of major business organizations, Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), the measure's principal author, stressed that the measure was "pro-consumer" because it will "encourage businesses to come in and fix their problems."

*The Year 2000 Readiness and Responsibility Act would require plaintiffs to give notice to potential defendants about their difficulties, wait 30 days for a response and give the defendant an additional 60 days to fix a glitch before suing.

*Under the bill, plaintiffs may recover actual damages, but punitive damages would be capped.
