What it does

This bill would require retail food stores to provide a discount to customers if the price at the cash register of certain items, including food, paper products, cleaning products, and health products, exceeds the ticketed, shelf, sale, or advertised price of the item. Stores would be required to post notice of this discount policy. Customers and store personnel could file complaints regarding violations of this discount policy to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
