Description

Virginia Consumer Protection Act; exclusions. Excludes a service provided by a public service corporation from application of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (Act) if the provision of the service is regulated by the State Corporation Commission (SCC). A service provided by a public service corporation therefore will be subject to the provisions of the Act if the service is not regulated by the SCC. The measure also (i) updates a reference to small loan companies and (ii) clarifies that the Act's exclusion for financial institutions, broker-dealers, gas suppliers, and insurance companies applies only if such entities are regulated and supervised by the SCC or a comparable federal regulatory body.
