BATON ROUGE - Lawyer advertising is misleading people and scaring consumers, according to the sponsor of a reform bill heard in the House Committee on Commerce today.
Senator Barrow Peacock (R-37) said Senate Bill 43 will establish requirements for disclosure in advertising.
“What we have here today is Senate Bill 43, which prohibits unfair and deceptive advertising directed to individuals using medical devices or certain medical drugs, such as a medical alert, health alert, a drug alert, or a false public service announcement that misleads an individual to believe that an advertisement has been approved or is affiliated with the federal or state government or promotes a false recall of a product by a government agency,” Peacock told committee members.
