AI Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act in Illinois that requires grocery stores offering digital coupons to also provide corresponding paper coupons of equal value. Specifically, the paper coupons must be easily accessible at the store's service desk and may also be placed in other locations throughout the store. If a grocery store fails to comply with this requirement, it will be considered to have committed an unlawful practice under the Act, which could potentially subject the store to penalties or legal action. The purpose of this bill appears to be ensuring consumer accessibility to discounts by providing alternative coupon formats, particularly for customers who may not be comfortable using digital technologies or who prefer traditional paper coupons.
