Consumer Protection Clarification Amendment Act of 2025

This bill clarifies that the District of Columbia government and its agencies generally do not count as "merchants" under the District's consumer protection law. It specifically excludes the District, its agencies, and employees acting in official duties from the law's merchant definition - except when the DC Housing Authority acts as a landlord under landlord-tenant rules. The change ensures consumer protection rules apply only to private businesses (not government operations), with the housing authority remaining subject to the law in its landlord role. The amendments take effect on specified dates in 2007 and 2022.
