Bill > HB2924

This bill establishes a comprehensive set of prohibitions against deceptive trade practices in Arizona, creating 37 specific scenarios where businesses are prohibited from misleading consumers. The bill makes it unlawful for sellers to engage in practices such as causing consumer confusion about product origins, making false representations about product characteristics, quality, or sponsorship, misrepresenting product conditions, advertising goods without intent to supply them, making misleading price reduction claims, and exploiting consumer vulnerabilities. Key protections include preventing businesses from falsely claiming a consumer's health or safety is at risk, requiring clear disclosure of product conditions and warranties, prohibiting unnecessary service recommendations, and restricting the use of consumers' social security numbers. The bill also includes specific provisions about recycling claims, prize offerings, and musical performance advertising, and mandates that businesses cannot display full credit card numbers or expiration dates on receipts. The attorney general is authorized to adopt rules implementing these consumer protection measures, and the regulations do not apply to health or dental service transactions. The overarching goal is to protect consumers from fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices by establishing clear legal standards for commercial interactions.
