MODERATE

This bill changes SB 754 from its enrolled version to its chaptered (enacted) version, primarily updating formatting and chapter numbering while preserving the substantive consumer protection law. The main policy change is the addition of a new effective date of July 1, 2025 for the prohibited practices section, replacing the previous 'effective until July 1, 2025' language. The bill also adds a new prohibition against violating Chapter 23.2 of the Code of Virginia and renumbers several existing prohibited practices to accommodate this addition.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same - it continues to amend Virginia's Consumer Protection Act provisions regarding prohibited practices and reproductive/sexual health information privacy. The effective date change means the new prohibited practices will apply starting July 1, 2025 rather than being effective until that date.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date language for prohibited practices from 'effective until July 1, 2025' to 'effective July 1, 2025', establishing when new requirements begin applying.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new prohibition (number 83) requiring suppliers to comply with Chapter 23.2 of the Code of Virginia, which relates to additional consumer protection requirements.

TECHNICAL

Reordered and renumbered prohibited practices to accommodate the new addition, shifting existing items and adding a new item about willful violations of § 59.1-444.4 before the new Chapter 23.2 violation prohibition.

Added chapter heading 'CHAPTER 591' and approval date 'March 24, 2025' to reflect the bill's official enactment status.

Changed formatting from the enrolled version to the chaptered version, including adjusting line breaks, spacing, and layout to match official code formatting standards.
