Olympia<\/strong>– Transparency and consumer protection is at the heart of legislation unanimously approved by the Senate last week.<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 5296<\/a>, sponsored by Sen. Steve Conway, D-South Tacoma, prevents misrepresentations and deceptive practices in the locksmith industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a vitally important consumer and brick and mortar protection bill,\u201d said Conway. \u201cOften times these out-of-state business bully or deceive customers into paying more money for services. This bill creates important standards that makes it more difficult for businesses to misrepresent their geographic location.\u201d<\/p>\n

Businesses located around the world post local advertisements on the web or in newspapers claiming to be a local locksmith. Customers then call the business hoping to receive direct locksmith assistance. Instead of receiving service from this business directly, the business brokers with a local company to do the job but charges the customer, who originally called, a higher price for the service. This bill ensures that when people call a business, they know whether they are talking to a local locksmith or a third party outside of the area who may wind up inflating the cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea for this bill was brought to me by constituents Jim and Karen Rich. They own a locksmith company called Guardian Security located on South Tacoma Way,\u201d added Conway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
