AI Summary

  • Prohibits retail food establishments (stores 15,000+ sq ft selling food, or 85,000+ sq ft with 10%+ food sales) from using "surveillance pricing"—adjusting prices for individual consumers based on personal data collected through sensors, cameras, facial recognition, or device tracking

  • Exempts discounts based on occupation, age, military service, or student status; loyalty program rewards based on purchase history; and electronic shelf label price changes that apply equally to all customers

  • Restricts electronic shelf label use for essential commodities (milk, bread, eggs, produce, meat, water, baby formula, medications, hygiene products) to no more than one price increase per 24-hour period, with required printed daily maximum prices

  • Defines "protected class data" to include ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare—price adjustments cannot be based on this data even when using electronic displays

  • Violations constitute unfair or deceptive trade practices under Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act, enforceable by the Attorney General and through private lawsuits
