A clear, state-focused look at protecting consumers in Florida, with actionable ideas for lawmaking.

This report presents the work of Florida’s joint legislature on consumer protection, explaining how committees gathered facts, heard from the public, and shaped a framework for stronger rules. It argues that meaningful protection comes from thoughtful legislation, not just lip service.

The document explains how the two chambers pooled their efforts to study consumer problems, educate the public, and guide future laws. It covers the committee’s goals, hearings across the state, and the need for coordinated action between state and federal entities to support honest business and informed shoppers.

Advertising: broaden false advertising laws and improve enforcement.
Packaging and labeling: study standards and adapt model laws for Florida.
Warranties and guarantees: require clear disclosures and establish enforcement procedures.
Odometer settings: prohibit tampering and record readings on titles and inspections.

Ideal for readers of public policy, consumer advocacy, or Florida legislative history who want a practical view of early 1970s consumer protection efforts and their recommended paths forward.
