Given the comprehensive nature of the federal consumer protection legislation, what purpose is served by parallel state legislation?

What will be an ideal response?


State agencies are often closer geographically to the problems that the average consumer encounters and thus are more effective at resolving them than are federal agencies, particularly when relatively small amounts of money are involved. States employ a variety of remedies and approaches in addition to those used by federal agencies. For example, states have used mandatory disclosure statements, required "cooling off" periods, "lemon laws," and cooperation with private groups such as the Better Business Bureau. Often, notice of investigation by a state attorney general's office is sufficient to discourage the continuation of a practice such as false advertising.
