during the lease transaction and at any time during the first six months of the
term of the lease agreement, provide to the retail lessee at no cost to the

lease payment. Worksheets that are stored on computer media shall be reduced
to printed form for the lessee. The worksheets shall be maintained by the
retail lessor or its agents during the first six months of the term of the
lease agreement. The retail lessor shall not be required to provide those
portions of any worksheets that contain dealer markup information or lease
assignment settlement amounts. [L 1997, c 82, pt of §1; am L 1998, c 201, §1]
