AI Summary

  • Repeals Section 348 of the general business law that was added by the 2025 FAIR Business Practices Act

  • Removes language that expanded "substantial injury" to include harm to persons other than consumers, limiting the definition back to the federal FTC Act standard

  • Extends the notice period the Attorney General must give before commencing enforcement actions from five business days to ten calendar days

  • Restricts private right of action to "deceptive" practices only, removing the ability to sue over "unfair" practices that the FAIR Act had added
