The move comes in response to a growing number of complaints from consumers who have fallen victim to misleading advertisements promoting products and services.The new regulations, which were announced by the North Dakota Consumer Protection Division on December 8, 2025, will require businesses to provide clear and accurate information in their advertising campaigns. This includes disclosing all relevant details about the product or service being marketed, as well as clearly stating any terms and conditions that may apply.Additionally, businesses will be prohibited from using misleading or false claims in their advertisements, such as exaggerated claims about the benefits of a product or service, or false statements about the price or availability of a product. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in hefty fines and penalties for businesses found to be in violation.North Dakota Attorney General, Mark Johnson, issued a statement expressing the importance of these new regulations in protecting consumers from being misled by deceptive advertising practices. "Consumers deserve to have accurate and honest information when making purchasing decisions," said Johnson. "These new regulations will help ensure that businesses are held accountable for their marketing practices and that consumers are able to make informed choices."The Consumer Protection Division will be actively monitoring businesses to ensure compliance with the new regulations, and has encouraged consumers to report any instances of deceptive advertising that they encounter. By working together, both businesses and consumers can help create a fair and transparent marketplace that benefits everyone involved.
