Consumers' Bureau

History

The Bureau was established in January 1970 to administer The Consumer Protection Act. It also administered The Landlord and Tenant Act upon its inception until the Rentalsman's Office was created and became a separate Branch in 1972.

In January 1992 the Consumers' Bureau was given the responsibility to administer The Business Practices Act, which has become a vital tool strengthening the effectiveness of service to clients.
