Indiana HB1063 amends deceptive consumer sales laws to include state and local agencies as consumers and expands the definition of supplier.

Indiana HB1063 amends the definition of "consumer transaction" to include the provision of a product or service to a state agency or a local agency in Indiana. It also expands the definition of "supplier" to include entities that provide products or services to state or local agencies, as well as those who solicit consumer transactions using a telephone facsimile machine to transmit unsolicited advertisements. The bill allows consumers to bring actions for damages resulting from deceptive acts and permits the court to award treble damages for uncured deceptive acts.
