Bill > HR3374

This bill, known as the Pink Tax Repeal Act, aims to prohibit gender-based pricing disparities for consumer products and services. Specifically, it would make it illegal for businesses to sell substantially similar products or services at different prices based on the gender for which they are intended or marketed. The bill defines "substantially similar" products as those with no significant differences in materials, intended use, functional design, and features, while services are considered substantially similar if they require similar time, difficulty, and cost to provide. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would be responsible for enforcing these regulations, treating any violations as unfair or deceptive practices under existing consumer protection laws. State attorneys general would also have the authority to bring civil actions on behalf of their residents to stop such pricing discrimination, seek compliance, or obtain damages. The bill covers a wide range of consumer products, including general consumer goods, devices, cosmetics, and child restraint systems. By addressing the "pink tax" - the practice of charging higher prices for products marketed to women - the legislation seeks to eliminate gender-based price discrimination in the marketplace.
