Jurisdiction

The Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance is primarily focused on protecting consumers. Whether a consumer shops online, buys a car at a dealership, or takes out a home insurance policy — the Subcommittee works to protect the fairness of those transactions and the safety of products people buy. The Subcommittee oversees the consumer protection efforts of the following federal agencies: the U.S. Federal Trade Commission – to prohibit unfair and deceptive business acts and practices, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – to create safe and fuel efficient vehicles, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission – to protect the public from unsafe toys and product defects. The Subcommittee also has jurisdiction over property and casualty insurance and sports.
