  • Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation

Effective immediately and continuing through April 3, 2020, some staff from the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR) and our five regulatory agencies (Division of Banks, Division of Insurance, Division of Professional Licensure, Division of Standards, and Department of Telecommunications and Cable) will be teleworking, per social distancing guidelines issued by Governor Baker, in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19. 

Precautionary measures include: changes to public meetings which in some cases are being postponed or held virtually, limited in-person window service, and at times revised hours to our Consumer Hotline.

Due to the continually changing situation, we recommend that you check this website often and refer to mass.gov/coronavirus for additional information regarding the Coronavirus.

We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to continuing to serve you.
