SB3001 Introduced 1/27/2026, by Sen. Christopher Belt SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
| | | Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that it is an unlawful practice within the meaning of the Act for a business to offer a consumer a different purchase price for the same product based solely on whether the consumer purchases the product at a physical location operated by the business or through a website or mobile application operated by the business, if the business maintains: (1) a physical location in the State where a consumer may purchase products; and (2) a website or mobile application that allows a consumer to purchase a product and pick up the product at a physical location. Provides that nothing in the provision shall be construed to prohibit a business from offering a coupon, discount, promotion, or sale for a product if the discounted price is offered on equal terms to a consumer who purchases the product at a physical location operated by the business and to a consumer who purchases the product through a website or mobile application operated by the business. |
