Navigation Bill targets ‘attention-grabbing’ solicitation ads
Sen. Clay Yarborough
A measure to regulate certain legal advertisements soliciting clients for personal injury lawsuits against drug manufacturers unanimously cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee March 29.
Sen. Clay Yarborough, R-Jacksonville, called SB 1246 a consumer protection bill that will inject “truth in advertising” in ads concerning prescription drugs or medical devices that often result in uninformed people, particularly the elderly, altering their medical care without consulting their doctors.
