§ 31511 Good Faith Compliance Protection

• •If you follow the rules or orders given by the commissioner or the Attorney General, you won't be punished, even if those rules change later.
• •This protection only works if you acted in good faith, meaning you honestly tried to follow the rules.
• •It doesn't matter if a court later says the rule was wrong—you're still safe if you followed it.

A store owner follows a rule from the government about how to display prices, but later the rule is changed.

The store owner won't get in trouble for following the old rule as long as they did it honestly and didn't know it was wrong.
