Informing the Legislature that on June 5, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1511 HD2 SD1 CD1 (ACT 088).
This bill prohibits companies from sending unsolicited mail or emails that use high-pressure tactics to trick consumers into believing the sender is affiliated with a government agency, vehicle manufacturer, or insurance company. The law specifically targets scams involving requests to pay for extended vehicle warranties, home warranties, or government license renewals. To comply, senders must include a clear, bold statement confirming they are not affiliated with the entity they claim to represent and that the payment is completely optional. If a sender fails to include this required disclosure, any contract resulting from the message is voidable, and the consumer is entitled to a full refund.
