Massachusetts H385 amends the Consumer Protection Act to include arbitration awards within the scope of unfair or deceptive practices.

Massachusetts H385 seeks to clarify the Consumer Protection Act by amending Section 9 (3) to include "or arbitration award" after the word "judgment" in the fourth sentence. Additionally, it amends Section 11 to insert "or arbitration award" after the word "judgment" in the second sentence of the fifth paragraph. This change ensures that arbitration awards are treated similarly to judgments in cases involving unfair or deceptive practices, thereby expanding the scope of the Consumer Protection Act to cover arbitration awards.
