AI Summary

  • Amends the Sale Price Ad Act to require retail mercantile establishments (grocery stores and supermarkets where 55% or more of sales are food, beverages, or nonprescription medicines) to disclose discounted prices in multiple formats, including original and discounted prices, percentage savings, or credit amounts.

  • Allows retailers to provide discount notices through various channels including point-of-sale displays, receipts, email, text messages, mobile apps, in-store promotions, loyalty programs, or other reasonable means.

  • Exempts self-service checkout systems and wholesale club membership models from discount disclosure requirements.

  • Requires that final purchase prices with discounts be excluded from fees charged to retailers by payment processors when consumers use cards, coupons, or similar payment devices.

  • Makes discount price regulation an exclusive state power, preventing home rule municipalities from enacting local regulations on this matter, and caps fines at $25 per violation with a maximum of $500 per year per entity.
