New York (State). Legislature. Joint Legislative Committee on Consumer Protection
Hide Profile
The Joint Legislative Committee on Consumer Protection was created by a June 3, 1964 Concurrent Resolution to investigate high prices, consumer fraud, misleading advertising, and other areas involving consumer protection.
Each year the committee held a series of public hearings, drafted legislation to remediate unfair practices, testified before other legislative committees and government agencies, and generally attempted to keep the public informed of their rights as consumers. The committee's work led to a large number of new laws protecting New York State consumers and resulted in the establishment of several new government programs including the New York State Consumer Protection Board. By a Concurrent Resolution of May 27, 1973 the committee was reconstituted as the Select Committee on Consumer Protection. The committee ceased operation in 1974.
