HB 922 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Consumer Protection - As enacted, adds as unlawful under the Consumer Protection Act of 1977 the making of false statements or misrepresentations of fact to a consumer to indicate or imply that the consumer is a party to a civil lawsuit or a defendant in a criminal prosecution in order to induce the consumer to pay for services related to the purported lawsuit or prosecution or to pay costs, fines, penalties, or other assessments related to the purported lawsuit or prosecution. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 39; Title 47 and Title 65.

HB 922 amends Tennessee Code Section 47-18-2108(b) to extend a deadline from three to five business days for a specific consumer protection process. The bill directly affects businesses and consumers interacting with consumer protection enforcement procedures. It makes a technical change to the timeline for compliance but does not add new prohibitions or alter the core protections described in the bill's title. The actual text only modifies a procedural deadline, with no substantive changes to consumer fraud definitions or penalties.
