Summary
The bill adds a new law that stops grocery retailers from setting prices for essential items—like food and personal care products—using algorithms that rely on personal data unless they clearly disclose this to shoppers. It also bans price changes based on protected characteristics and the purchase of consumer data for pricing, with fines and a private right to sue for violations.
