The Consumer Protection Remedies Act of 2026 expands the enforcement tools available to the Federal Trade Commission when pursuing companies that violate consumer protection laws. The bill amends the FTC Act to allow courts to order equitable remedies beyond traditional injunctions, including restitution to consumers, contract rescission, disgorgement of profits illegally obtained, and refunds of money or return of property. These remedies would apply to violations committed within ten years before the FTC files suit, though the limitations period does not include time when defendants are outside the United States. The legislation affects any business or person subject to FTC enforcement and applies to all actions commenced after the bill becomes law, giving the agency stronger authority to compensate harmed consumers and strip wrongdoers of ill-gotten gains.
