Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection
TL;DR
The Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection held an introductory hearing on two proposed laws aimed at protecting consumers from unfair pricing practices. The first would prohibit 'surveillance pricing' (using personal data to set individualized prices), and the second would restrict how often grocery stores can raise prices. Both bills were introduced for consideration but no votes were held at this meeting.
