Bill > SB2362

This bill revises how individuals can sue businesses for losses resulting from deceptive consumer practices, specifically under Mississippi's consumer protection laws. It removes the requirement for a consumer to first try resolving a dispute through an informal program approved by the Attorney General, allowing them to directly file a lawsuit. If a consumer chooses to file a lawsuit, they must notify the Attorney General within fourteen days, and the Attorney General has the option to join the case. The bill also specifies where these private lawsuits can be filed, including the county where the consumer lives or has their principal place of business, or with agreement from all parties, in the county where the State Capitol is located, and grants courts the authority to issue injunctions, which are court orders to stop or prevent illegal actions, to prevent violations of consumer protection laws.
