Plain-language change summary

The bill has been updated to include a specific definition of "infant formula product" and to establish a clear limit on how much retailers can charge for these products. Retailers are now prohibited from selling infant formula at prices more than 20% above their average price from the past 90 days. This change is significant because it aims to protect consumers from price gouging, especially during times of scarcity, ensuring that families can access essential nutrition for their infants without being overcharged.
