Bill > HB5224

This bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act to add a new provision that prohibits retail groceries from engaging in dynamic pricing, which is a practice where prices for goods change in real-time based on demand, supply, or other market factors. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection (ll) to the existing list of unfair trade practices, which makes it illegal for businesses to violate section 5102 of the food law. The bill appears to be part of a package of legislation, as it will only take effect if two related bills are also enacted. The amendment expands the existing consumer protection framework by introducing an additional protection for consumers in the grocery retail sector, aiming to prevent potentially exploitative pricing strategies. The bill maintains the existing structure of the consumer protection act, which provides a comprehensive list of deceptive and unfair trade practices, and allows the attorney general to create rules to implement the act while prohibiting the creation of additional unfair trade practices not already enumerated in the law.
