A 1096: Requires the clear and conspicuous disclosure of pricing changes for online grocery delivery and online pick-up services; imposes a fine of not more than one hundred dollars for the first offense and not more than two hundred fifty dollars for a second and each subsequent offense for violations.
The bill requires food retailers and third-party delivery platforms to clearly disclose their pricing policies to consumers. This disclosure must indicate whether the online price of products is the same as the in-store price, or if it is higher or lower. The disclosure must be prominently displayed on the platform's website or mobile application, and for food retailers with different pricing policies, a link to their website must be provided. Violations of this section can result in fines of up to $250. The bill also gives the secretary of state the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out its provisions. The bill takes effect 90 days after it becomes a law.
