The Township Board decided Monday night to study establishing a consumer-protection service for residents.

The proposed Consumer Protection Commission would take complaints on such things as false promises about services or products, repair costs inflated 25 percent or more beyond an estimate, deceptive trade practices and home-repair frauds.

The township would be able only to encourage parties in a consumer dispute to reach an amicable agreement.
