Summary

The law stops food retailers and third‑party delivery services from changing prices based on demand or consumer surveillance data, and from using protected‑class information to discriminate. Violations are treated as unfair trade practices and can result in criminal fines, up to a year in jail, and civil penalties. It also protects employee rights under existing collective bargaining agreements.
