Loading...
Summary
Negotiators discussed House Bill 21‑18's substantive amendment that deems certain transactions to fall under the Consumer Protection Act and said the Senate would likely retain that change as its position in conference.
Conference members reviewed a substantive House change to House Bill 21‑18 that would deem specified transactions to be Consumer Protection Act transactions.
Staff explained that the House had amended HB 21‑18 to treat the transactions described in the bill as consumer protection transactions, effectively deeming the business (supplier) and the person harmed as "consumer" for purposes of the Consumer Protection Act. Members said those changes are substantive and that the Senate would likely keep those amendments as part of its position in conference.
Negotiators did not finalize agreement on HB 21‑18 during the session; they described the substance of the House change and indicated further discussion would be necessary before any final conference disposition.
Ending: The committee scheduled additional conferencing later the same day to address HB 21‑18 alongside other pending items.
