An Act amending the act of October 15, 1980 (P.L.950, No.164), known as the Commonwealth Attorneys Act, in Office of Attorney General, providing for citizens' intervention in conspiracies; and imposing duties on the Office of Attorney General.
HB 895 establishes a process for Pennsylvania citizens to report specific federal consumer protection violations to the Office of Attorney General through a public website, email, or phone line. The bill requires the Attorney General to create this system and assign each citizen a unique identifier and password, along with collecting contact details for potential testimony. If the Attorney General secures a monetary recovery based on a citizen's information about violations like fraud, privacy breaches, or consumer credit issues, a witness award must be requested. This law directly affects citizens with knowledge of the listed federal offenses and the Office of Attorney General.
