SB49

SB49 revises consumer protection laws in Nevada, including penalties for deceptive trade practices and the authority of the Consumer's Advocate.

SB49 amends Nevada's consumer protection statutes, enhancing penalties for deceptive trade practices and clarifying the authority of the Consumer's Advocate. It allows the Consumer's Advocate to conduct administrative hearings and impose civil penalties for deceptive practices targeting minors, elderly persons, or those with disabilities. The bill also increases the maximum civil penalty for such violations and removes certain court-imposed sanctions for non-compliance with administrative orders.
