relative to repealing the office of the consumer advocate.

HB 610 would eliminate the office of the Consumer Advocate by repealing the law that created it. This directly affects the office's staff and consumers who previously relied on its services for assistance with issues like utility bills or product safety. The bill's key mechanism is removing the legal foundation for the office, ending its operations and associated duties. The committee has recommended passing the bill with an amendment, but the core change remains the dissolution of the office.
