Louisiana HB800 regulates grocery pricing by requiring suppliers to offer the same terms of sale to all retailers and wholesalers.

Louisiana HB800, known as the "Make Affordable Groceries Again Act," mandates that grocery suppliers offer the same terms of sale to all retailers and wholesalers, regardless of size, within the same relative time period. The bill defines "covered goods" as grocery items excluding gasoline, prescription drugs, tobacco, or alcoholic beverages. It also defines "covered retailer" and "covered wholesaler" and outlines prohibited conduct, such as refusing to sell a covered good to a covered retailer or wholesaler under certain conditions.
