Bill > HB580

This bill expands the duties of the Division of Consumer Counsel, which is a part of the Department of Law in Virginia and represents consumers' interests, to include establishing ways to receive and investigate complaints from consumers about emerging technologies. This means the Division will set up systems to handle these complaints, similar to how they already handle complaints about other consumer issues, and will be able to send relevant complaints to federal, state, and local agencies that are responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws. The bill also makes a minor technical correction to existing language regarding the Division's duties.
