Bill > HB1067

This bill requires grocery chains operating five or more retail food stores in Indiana to submit monthly reports to the state department of agriculture about their store brand prices for six essential staple items: milk, eggs, white bread, chicken breast, ground beef, and infant formula. The reports must include the average retail price, average wholesale price, and total units sold in Indiana, with specific requirements for calculating these prices and detailing product specifications. The department will create an online dashboard allowing the public to view and compare this pricing data across different grocery chains, with the information to be published within 15 days of the monthly reporting deadline. The bill defines detailed terms like "covered grocery chain" and "retail food store" and establishes enforcement mechanisms through the attorney general, who can levy civil penalties up to $1,000 per day for late reports and $10,000 for intentionally reporting false information. Grocery chains must maintain underlying records for three years and will be given a seven-day cure period to correct any reporting deficiencies. The legislation aims to increase pricing transparency in the grocery industry and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
