"By enacting strong consumer protection laws, we are sending a clear message that Delaware is committed to promoting fair and transparent business practices that benefit all residents," Governor Doe said.In addition to the new consumer protection laws, Delaware also announced the launch of a new advertising watchdog agency, the Delaware Advertising Standards Authority (DASA). DASA will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the state's advertising regulations, as well as investigating consumer complaints related to deceptive or misleading advertising practices.The establishment of DASA represents a significant step forward in ensuring that companies operating in Delaware adhere to the highest standards of ethical advertising practices, and that consumers are able to make informed decisions when purchasing products and services.Overall, the developments in advertising and consumer protection laws in Delaware on June 2, 2026, mark a significant milestone in the state's efforts to promote fair and transparent business practices and protect consumers from deceptive advertising practices.
