The bill codifies the unanimous recommendations of the California Law Revision Commission following three years of expert study, public input, and public meetings. Consumer Federation of California is a proud co-sponsor of AB 1776.

Earlier this week, CFC Executive Director Robert Herrell joined Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry and many others at a press conference to unveil Assembly Bill 1776—Competition and Opportunity in Markets for a Prosperous, Equitable and Transparent Economy (COMPETE) Act.

#SB690 is a direct attack on your privacy. It lets companies off the hook, legalizes invasive tracking, and shields Big Tech from lawsuits. Learn the truth: stopsb690.com #StopBigTechSpying #California #CALeg #Privacy #ProtectConsumers

🏠CFA has published a new report that shows American homeowners saw insurance premiums increase by an average of 24% over the past 3 years, which amounts to a $21 billion total price hike for Americans.💸 Read more:  consumerfed.org/overburdened/

Trump expels Democratic regulators at FTC politi.co/4hMEc5H via @politico This is disgusting and fundamentally anti-consumer! #protectconsumers #FTC

Consumer voices will be heard! We’re meeting with Congress all week as part of the 2025 Consumer Advocacy Week. Top priorities: Keep big bank overdraft fees capped at $5, protect a rule to remove medical debt from credit reports, and defend the #CFPB. #ProtectConsumers #CAW2025

The @CFPB cannot be canceled. Its existence is a fact of law, not a point for debate. It is under attack, true, but no one would say a law doesn't exist solely because someone violates it. The law still exists. #DefendCFPB americanbanker.com/news/cfpb-lead…

California Advocates Take to Capitol Hill to Urge Lawmakers to Keep Consumers Safe “California’s members in Congress must push back on attempts to dismantle the CFPB and fight for consumers,” said Robert Herrell, Executive Director of CFC. #CAW2025 consumercal.org/california-adv…

Nobody deserves their innermost thoughts and feelings being perverted or manipulated by the likes of @ElonMusk (@Neuralink) who, by his own admission, has odd beliefs on genetics. #SB44 #Neuralink #CALeg #DataPrivacy, @OaklandPrivacy, @ConsumerCal, @ConsumerFederation

With the government stepping back from regulatory duties, consumers may have to act as their own financial watchdogs. Pay close attention when using #fintech, said @AdamRust9, including peer-to-peer payment apps. Read more in @nytimes: nytimes.com/2025/02/28/you…

Tell Senate to vote NO on plan to block the CFPB from overseeing payment apps and digital wallets like Venmo, Apple Cash, PayPal and Elon Musk's new payment app. Consumers need real financial protections! act.consumerreports.org/2OQfHuC .

#Arbitration is a very effective tool in the legal system. But the media has reported on some utterly absurd cases of egregious use in recent years. I'm proud to be working with @ConsumerAttysCA, @ConsumerWD, and @ConsumerCal on #SB82 to end this ridiculousness. #CALeg

THIRTY EIGHT pending cases that would help military families, workers, older Americans, low-income car buyers and fraud victims are all at risk while Trump and @russvought stop the CFPB from doing its job. This is unacceptable. protectborrowers.org/trump-and-voug…

Now more than ever California needs to continue to step up for consumers against predatory lenders in the face of the forced retreat of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. @MoniqueLimonCA @TimGraysonCA @AsmValencia @CaliforniaDFPI #CFPB #ProtectConsumers

Consumers get clobbered and the cost of living goes up if this consumer protection rule gets nullified. Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) introduced a resolution that would roll back a recent CFPB rule capping overdraft fees. #CFPB #ProtectConsumers levernews.com/tim-scott-is-p…
