Bill overview
The Consumer Protection and Recovery Act strengthens the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) ability to protect consumers by allowing it to seek permanent injunctions and other equitable relief when businesses violate laws. Specifically, the bill clarifies the FTC’s authority to pursue remedies like restitution, refunds, and property returns in cases of consumer harm. It also establishes a timeframe for pursuing legal action and allows the FTC to recover unjust enrichment from companies that have benefited unfairly from violations.
