Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill amends the Consumer Fraud Act to clarify that the phrase “in connection with” includes any unfair or deceptive conduct that occurs before, during, or after a sale, lease, receipt, or advertisement of merchandise. It lets the Delaware Department of Justice pursue post‑transaction misconduct such as false landlord notices, aggressive debt collection, or failure to honor repair promises. The change aims to protect consumers and ensure businesses compete fairly throughout the entire consumer relationship.
