AI Summary
This bill modifies the provisions governing deceptive trade practices and consumer fraud in Minnesota. It amends the existing law to expand the definition of deceptive trade practices to include "unfair methods of competition" and "unfair or unconscionable acts or practices." It also establishes a standard of proof for determining what constitutes an unfair or unconscionable act or practice, which is based on whether the act or practice offends public policy, is unethical or oppressive, or is substantially injurious to consumers, competitors, or other businesses.
