A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO CONTINUE ITS STUDY OF CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUES.
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1. The Legislative Research Commission may continue its study of consumer protection issues, including those affecting the elderly.  In conducting its study, the Commission may consider the following:

(2)	The need for establishment of a single State entity that would hear and address consumer concerns; if such need is identified, the study shall consider whether the entity should be established within an existing State agency, or as a newly created State agency. 
(3)	Any other consumer protection issues the Commission deems appropriate.
Sec. 2. If the study authorized in Section 1 of this resolution is conducted, the Commission shall make a final report to the 1993 Session of the General Assembly, and may make an interim report to the 1991 Session, Regular Session, 1992.
Sec. 3. This resolution is effective upon ratification.
