Abstract

COMPLAINT AREAS ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY SUBJECT ACCOMPANIED BY A SPECIFIC STATUTORY REFERENCE, IF APPLICABLE. EACH COMPLAINT SUBJECT IS FOLLOWED BY NAMES OR INITIALS WHICH INDICATE APPROPRIATE STATE OR LOCAL AGENCIES HAVING AN ENFORCEMENT OR REGULATORY INTEREST. A KEY IS PROVIDED TO MATCH THE ABBREVIATED AGENCY NAMES WITH THE APPROPRIATE REFERRAL AGENCY, AND THE ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER, AND DESCRIPTION OF EACH AGENCY ARE GIVEN. WISCONSIN GOVERNMENT ENFORCEMENT OR REGULATORY AGENCIES ARE CODED BY NUMBER; ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS, AND SPECIFIC CONSUMER-RELATED AUTHORITIES ARE INCLUDED. KEY FEDERAL CONSUMER OFFICES WHICH PROVIDE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION ALSO ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY SUBJECT; AND SPECIFIC RESOURCES OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL ORGANIZATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS ARE DESCRIBED. THIS LAST SECTION IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR PARTS: STATE AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, LEGAL SERVICES, AND BUSINESS RESOURCES. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED--RCB)
