Illinois SB1932 prohibits price gouging during disasters by banning sales of certain goods and services at unconscionably high prices.
Illinois SB1932 amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to outlaw price gouging during disasters. It bans selling consumer food items, emergency supplies, medical supplies, and other necessities at unconscionably high prices within 45 days of a disaster declaration. A price is considered unconscionably high if it grossly exceeds the usual price or similar prices before the disaster. The Attorney General can investigate and enforce this provision. The bill also updates the Freedom of Information Act to exempt certain information from disclosure.
