TO: | Honorable Helen Giddings, Chair, House Committee on Business & Industry |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1870 by Turner (Relating to a deceptive trade practice in connection with advertising for a household goods carrier.), As Introduced |
The bill would add Section 17.46(b)(28) which makes it a deceptive trade practice if a seller of print advertising to a motor carrier registered to transport household goods does not include their certificate of registration number in their advertising. The Act would take effect on September 1, 2005.
The proposed legislation will likely result in new complaints, investigations and cases by the OAG, however it is projected that this increase could be absorbed by current resources.
