§ 59.1-418 Representation of being specially selected
A. No person shall represent that another person has been specially selected in connection with the sale or lease or solicitation for sale or lease of goods, property, or service, unless the selection process is designed to reach a particular type or types of persons.
B. The use of any language that may lead a reasonable person to believe he has been specially selected, including but not limited to “carefully selected,” or “You have been selected to receive,” or “You have been chosen,” shall be considered a representation of the type governed by this section.
History
This law was first created in 1989. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 689 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1989 “Acts” aren’t available online.
1989, c. 689.
