  • Bans electronic shelving labels (E-paper displays) in retail food stores, requiring non-digital price presentation that includes product identity, brand name, quantity, total sale price, and price per unit.

  • Exempts from the surveillance pricing ban: price differences based on reasonable delivery costs, bona fide discounts for groups like teachers, veterans, seniors, and students, and loyalty program discounts where consumers knowingly enroll.
