Hearing (House)

Summary

The bill stops merchants from using price‑setting algorithms that rely on a consumer’s personal data unless they clearly disclose that fact at the point of sale. It also bars software providers and landlords from using algorithmic tools that coordinate pricing data among multiple rental owners, and prohibits landlords from adjusting rent or lease terms based on those algorithmic recommendations. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive trade practices under the state consumer‑protection law.
