This Act makes it an unlawful practice to engage in a commercial transaction with a consumer who interacts with computer technology, under circumstances where a reasonable person would believe that person is engaging with an actual human, without notifying the consumer that the consumer is communicating with a computer and not a human being. It provides a private right of action for damages. It provides that a violation is an unlawful practice and prohibited trade practice.

It permits the Attorney General to seek injunctive relief and a civil penalty of not more than $5 million dollars for violations. This Act is effective 180 days after its enactment into law.
