New York updated its consumer protection law with the FAIR Business Practices Act to target scams — including those involving artificial intelligence, deed theft, and predatory lending — and now allows the Attorney General and affected individuals to take civil action against violators. The law aims to close loopholes and protect consumers amid federal rollbacks on similar safeguards.
