Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring certain transportation facilities operated by public authorities to implement traveler-friendly concession pricing policies

AI Summary

This bill requires that transportation facilities operated by public authorities, such as airports, train stations, and bus terminals, implement "traveler-friendly concession pricing" for food and beverages, meaning prices should not exceed the average retail price of similar items at commercial establishments within a ten-mile radius. A "similar commercial establishment" is defined as a vendor outside the transportation facility that is comparable in concept, location, price, and category to a vendor inside the facility. Public authorities operating these facilities must submit annual reports to the office of the comptroller detailing their concession prices, local market prices, and vendor compliance. The office of the comptroller is authorized to conduct random audits and enforce these pricing requirements.
