What it does

This bill would prohibit food establishments from using a dynamic pricing model that increases the price of any menu item based on real-time demand, which includes the number of individuals present in the food establishment. Any food establishment that violates this section would be liable for a civil penalty, for each day that a dynamic pricing model is used, of $500.
