What it does
The Consumer Protection and Recovery Act would amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to explicitly affirm the FTC’s authority to seek permanent injunctions and other equitable relief—such as restitution, refunds, disgorgement of unjust gains, and contract rescission—for violations of laws it enforces. It applies to any FTC enforcement action pending or filed on or after the bill’s enactment, and includes a 10-year limitations period for seeking such relief, excluding time during which a defendant is outside the United States. The bill also makes a conforming amendment to remove outdated language referencing injunctive relief in another section of the Act.
