1) What is HB 6236 Consumer Protection Act by Anonymous Citizen on July 22, 2002
Dear Gentlemen,

I recently learned that the courts have considerably weakened the Consumer Protection Act - Fraudulent and deceptive business practices.
This reinventing the wheel when good laws the Michigan legislature enacts become watered down to benifit the violators is insulting to the residents of the state. Currently attorney's totally exempt if they advertise falsely their skills and previous experience or falsely report what they did or did not do for a client. Usually these violators charge the clients thousands of dollars so their falsehoods are very profitable. The Attorney Grievance Commission refuses to discipline 'their legal brothers' regardless of the extent of the misconduct. The failure of the Michigan legislature to be effectivie leaders against outrageous professional misconduct is something that should no longer be ignored. Kindly effect legistlation that makes false advertising and business practices applicable against all businesses in the state.
