An Act to clarify the Consumer Protection Act

This bill clarifies Massachusetts' Consumer Protection Act by updating two specific sections. It adds "or arbitration award" after "judgment" in Chapter 93A, Section 9(3) and Section 11, ensuring consumer protection remedies apply equally to court judgments and binding arbitration awards. The change directly affects consumers and businesses involved in disputes resolved through arbitration, making the law consistent for both court and arbitration outcomes. The bill makes no new policy but clarifies existing law to cover arbitration awards explicitly.
