Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 6265 has changed how grocery establishments handle coupons and reduced prices. Previously, stores were required to post signs that mentioned coupons and discounts could be honored upon request, but now they must automatically apply these discounts at checkout, even for customers who haven't signed up for electronic offers. This change matters because it simplifies the process for consumers, ensuring they receive the advertised savings without extra steps or having to ask for it.
