What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill expands the type of enforcement actions in which a court may order

a defendant to reimburse the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection (DATCP) for its costs incurred in preparing and prosecuting the action,

to include actions relating to future service plans, rental vehicles, self-service

storage facilities, time shares, and foreclosure consultants. Current law allows a

court to make such an order only in certain other DATCP enforcement actions.
