Department of Consumer Affairs.

Existing law establishes the Department of Consumer Affairs and states it is the intent of the Legislature to promote and protect the interests of the people as consumers, and that the government advances the interests of consumers by, among other things, protecting consumers from the sale of goods and services through the use of deceptive methods, acts, or practices that are inimical to the general welfare of consumers. Existing law defines terms for those purposes and establishes a Division of Consumer Services, within the department, and provides that the division is under the supervision and control of a chief. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
