Relating to the jurisdiction of district and county attorneys to prosecute certain consumer protection violations.

SB 3027 allows Texas district and county attorneys to prosecute certain consumer protection violations previously handled solely by the Consumer Protection Division. It requires attorneys to notify the division before taking action (with a 90-day wait if the division is investigating) and obtain written approval from insurance regulators for cases involving insurers. Attorneys must file cases in the county where the business operates and pay 75% of penalties from specific violations (Section 17.46(b)(28)) to that county. The bill also mandates coordination between attorneys and the division, including sharing case updates and providing assistance upon request.
