Rhode Island H7719 requires stores to offer the same food product discounts to in-store customers as those offered to customers using electronic.

Rhode Island H7719 amends the state's Unfair Sales Practices law to ensure that stores offering food product discounts must provide the same discounts to in-store customers as those offered to customers using electronic digital coupons. This act mandates that retailers provide alternative methods for in-store customers to obtain the same discounted prices or benefits offered through digital coupons. These alternatives may include paper coupons, electronic kiosks, or applying the discount at the point-of-sale upon request. The act takes effect on January 1, 2027.
