Bill Summary

Relative to civil actions for unfair or deceptive practices. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify the Consumer Protection Act by amending two sections of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A. The first amendment adds the phrase "or arbitration award" after the word "judgment" in the fourth sentence of Section 9(3), which deals with civil actions for unfair or deceptive practices. The second amendment makes a similar change in the second sentence of the fifth paragraph of Section 11, also related to civil actions under the Consumer Protection Act. These changes ensure that the law encompasses both court judgments and arbitration awards when considering consumer protection measures.
