The "Consumer Protection and Recovery Act" aims to strengthen the enforcement capabilities of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by amending Section 13 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. This legislation explicitly confirms the FTC's authority to seek permanent injunctions against entities that have violated laws enforced by the Commission, clarifying its power to obtain various forms of equitable relief. These remedies include ordering restitution for consumer losses, the rescission or reformation of contracts , and the refund of money or return of property . Furthermore, the bill empowers courts to order the disgorgement of unjust enrichment obtained by violators, ensuring that wrongdoers cannot profit from illegal activities. A 10-year limitations period is established for seeking such equitable relief, calculated from the date the suit is filed, with an allowance for time an individual spends outside the United States. These amendments are designed to enhance the FTC's ability to effectively protect consumers and recover funds lost due to unlawful practices, applying to all legal actions and proceedings that are either pending or initiated on or after the date of the Act's enactment.
