In plain language

The bill prohibits using personal data for individual price discrimination.

This legislation bans setting personalized prices based on consumer data, like online behavior. It allows discounts based on specific, objective criteria but protects loyalty programs from individual pricing.

What this means for you
  • Families: Families can expect more consistent pricing practices without discrimination based on personal information.
  • Consumers: This means consumers may avoid inflated prices based on personal data or behavior.
  • Small Business: Small businesses must comply with rules against individualized pricing based on consumer data.

Summary

This House Substitute for House Bill No. 453 prohibits surveillance-based price discrimination by forbidding the use of automated decision systems to set individualized consumer prices based on personal data, metadata, or proxy data, such as device identifiers and digital behavioral patterns, used to infer a consumer's socioeconomic status or urgency of purchase. While the Act establishes safe harbors for discounts based on lawful, objective criteria (e.g., military, student, or senior status), it ensures that rewards and loyalty programs are not used to circumvent these protections by requiring that such discounts remain uniform across membership and are not individualized through algorithmic profiling. This Substitute differs from the original bill by adding a definition of electronic shelving labels and provides language that protects loyalty programs. It also carves out financial services and credit to align with federal regulations, changes the language used for location-based data, discounts for service interruptions, removes the term “risk-relevant data”, and provides a safe harbor provision with an opportunity to cure and a sunset date. Finally, this Substitute also includes a severability clause and an effective date of January 1, 2027.
