Louisiana HB853 regulates misleading solicitations by nongovernment entities to prevent false government endorsements.
Louisiana HB853 amends existing law to clarify what constitutes a misleading solicitation by nongovernment entities. A solicitation is considered misleading if it falsely implies a government connection, misrepresents government identity or status, or uses urgent language without a business relationship. Misleading solicitations must include specific disclaimers and are subject to civil fines and penalties under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Violators are also liable for civil damages.
