An Act making an appropriation from a restricted revenue account within the General Fund to the Office of Consumer Advocate in the Office of Attorney General.
HB 1420 provides funding from a designated restricted revenue account within the state's General Fund to the Office of Consumer Advocate, which operates under the Office of the Attorney General. This bill directly supports the Office of Consumer Advocate’s existing work representing consumers in disputes with utilities, insurance, and other regulated services. The key provision is a specific financial appropriation to ensure the office has resources to handle consumer complaints and investigations. As a funding measure, it does not create new laws or alter consumer rights but allocates existing state funds to a specific agency. (This is a procedural funding bill, so the summary is concise as required.)
