An Act amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), known as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, further providing for definitions.
HB 967 amends Pennsylvania's 1968 Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law by adding or refining specific definitions within the statute. This definitional update directly affects consumers and businesses operating under the law, as clearer definitions help determine what constitutes unfair trade practices. The bill does not introduce new prohibitions or penalties but clarifies existing legal terms to improve application of the law. As a procedural amendment focused solely on definitions, it does not create new policy requirements or alter substantive protections.
