AI Summary

  • Amends Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to classify "dynamic pricing" as an unfair or deceptive trade practice

  • Defines dynamic pricing as varying prices of essential goods or services within a 24-hour period based on demand or other factors, including through the use of artificial intelligence or AI models that retrain based on received information

  • Applies specifically to "essential goods or services," defined as items exempt from Pennsylvania sales tax under the Tax Reform Code of 1971 (such as food, clothing, and certain necessities)

  • Exempts "bona fide pricing" from the prohibition, meaning genuine pricing offered regularly to the public without inflated former prices used to create deceptive discounts

  • Takes effect 60 days after enactment
