Hill announces 'Law' winner


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, Mar 04, 2010 - 10:41:49 am PST

And the winner is … Stan Fetterman of Millbrae.

Assemblymember Jerry Hill, who represents the Coastside, announced Monday that Fetterman had won his second annual “Oughta Be A Law…Or Not” contest for San Mateo County.

Fetterman contacted Hill after receiving a solicitation in the mail that resembled an official government document. The advertisement proposed to help his business file paperwork with the Secretary of State, threatening that non-compliance would result in fines and loss of license.

In a prepared release, Hill said he received similar complaints from local residents.

Assembly Bill 2654 improves existing consumer disclosure laws by clarifying that the following message must be printed at the top of the first page of the mailed solicitation: “This product or service has not been approved or endorsed by any governmental agency and this offer is not being made by an agency of the government.”
