Bill > A01096

This bill requires food retailers and third-party delivery platforms to clearly and conspicuously disclose their pricing policies for online grocery sales, specifically explaining whether online prices are the same as in-store prices. The bill defines key terms such as "food retailer" (a self-service grocery store selling a minimum percentage of produce, meat, and other food items), "in-store price" (price when purchasing in the physical store), and "third-party delivery platform" (websites or apps that arrange online grocery sales and delivery). Retailers and platforms must indicate whether online prices are higher or lower than in-store prices, with third-party platforms using the most recent prices provided by food retailers. For platforms with multiple retailers having different pricing, they can satisfy the requirement by including a prominent pricing policy disclosure. Violations of this disclosure requirement will result in fines of up to $100 for the first offense and up to $250 for subsequent offenses. The secretary of state is authorized to create rules and regulations to implement this law, which will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
