SB1998

Tennessee SB1998 regulates pricing practices in food retail establishments to protect consumers from predatory pricing schemes.

Tennessee SB1998 amends the Tennessee Code to regulate pricing practices in food retail establishments. The bill prohibits larger food retail establishments from using electronic shelving labels and personalized algorithmic pricing. It mandates clear and conspicuous disclosure of unit prices for food items. The bill also prohibits using protected class data in setting prices, which could lead to discrimination. Violations of these provisions are considered unfair or deceptive acts under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977, with potential civil penalties.
