AI Summary
This bill amends the Sale Price Ad Act to ensure that retail stores, when using mobile or computer applications to offer digital promotions, must provide those benefits to any eligible customer who meets the stated terms and conditions. A "digital promotion" is defined as any discount offered electronically, such as through an app or email. The bill allows stores to establish practical redemption methods, like automatic discounts or using barcodes, and clarifies that stores are not required to offer promotions to non-loyalty program members or provide personalized offers. Importantly, it specifies that a person can sue for an injunction to enforce compliance and recover attorney's fees and costs, and no fine will be imposed unless the store is given 15 days' notice to fix the violation.
