NEW YORK CITY—New state legislation would protect consumers from scams, predatory loans, and other abusive business practices, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.
At a March 13 announcement with Assemblyman Micah Lasher, and with the support of state Sen. Leroy Comrie, James said the FAIR Business Practices Act would help the state protect New Yorkers from harmful business practices in the absence of protection from the federal government.
