Bill > HB0226

This bill amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act by adding a new provision that makes it unlawful for companies to send misleading notices about home warranty plan expirations. Specifically, the bill prohibits companies from sending notices to individuals in Illinois that claim a home warranty plan is expiring and request a one-time payment or subscription, when the recipient does not actually have an existing home warranty plan with that company. This provision aims to protect consumers from potentially deceptive marketing practices that could trick people into paying for unnecessary or unwanted home warranty services by creating a false sense of urgency about an expiring plan.
