What SB 259 does, verified August 25, 2026

The bill aims to protect consumers from unfair online pricing practices. It prohibits businesses from setting prices based on data about a consumer's device, such as the presence or absence of software. This means that prices cannot be generated in whole or part based on the consumer's device information. The bill allows exceptions for certain situations, but generally requires businesses to set prices based on objective factors, rather than personal data.
