The bill prohibits a person from assuming, adopting or using the name of a state agency, a name resembling that of a state agency or a name that conveys the false impression that the person's business, products, services, or activities are connected with or endorsed, authorized or approved by a state agency without fair compensation. However, the prohibition would not apply if the state gave written permission to use its name without fair compensation.
