Hawaii SB785 prohibits retailers from using dynamic pricing on food sold under federal assistance programs.

Hawaii SB785 aims to prevent retailers from using dynamic pricing on food sold or qualifying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Special Supplemental Foods Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Dynamic pricing involves changing prices based on factors like demand, season, or consumer data. Violators face civil fines up to $5,000 per item per day.
