Trade and commerce; misrepresentation of geographic location of florist business; penalty. Prohibits the misrepresentation of the geographical location of a florist business in the listing of the business in a telephone directory or other directory assistance database, on a website, or in a print advertisement. A misrepresentation of the geographical location of a florist business exists if the name of the business indicates that the business is located in a geographical area and (i) the business is not located within the area indicated; (ii) the listing fails to identify the locality and state of the business's geographical location; and (iii) a telephone call to the telephone number provided routinely is forwarded or transferred to a location that is outside the calling area covered by the directory or database in which the number is listed or outside the geographical area as indicated by the name of the business. A violation is a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
