This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 44-1535, which outlines various unlawful practices related to consumer fraud when selling goods or services. The new provisions include a comprehensive list of deceptive practices, such as causing confusion about the source or approval of goods, making false representations about the quality or condition of products, and failing to disclose material facts that could mislead consumers. Additionally, it addresses issues like requiring consumers to waive legal rights without clear consent, misrepresenting the need for repairs, and imposing unfair conditions on transactions.

The bill also introduces specific requirements for advertising and sales practices, such as the need for clear disclosures when offering prizes contingent on sales presentations and restrictions on the collection of social security numbers. Furthermore, it mandates that receipts for credit or debit card transactions do not display sensitive information, with compliance deadlines set for 2025 and 2027. Notably, the bill exempts transactions involving health and dental services from these regulations and grants the attorney general the authority to adopt rules for implementation.
