CONSUMERS/FOOD-BEVERAGES: Provides with respect to consumer protection regarding the pricing of groceries (OR INCREASE GF EX See Note)

HB 800, the "Make Affordable Groceries Again Act," prohibits large grocery suppliers and dominant retailers from engaging in unfair pricing practices that disadvantage smaller retailers. It requires covered suppliers (those with over $6 billion in annual sales) to offer identical terms of sale to all retailers purchasing goods on the same volume basis, and to share anonymized pricing data with non-dominant retailers upon request within 14 days. The law specifically targets price discrimination against smaller retailers by major chains (dominant covered retailers with over $18 billion in annual sales) and prevents coercion of suppliers to violate these rules. It directly affects large grocery suppliers, dominant retailers, and smaller retailers competing for the same products, aiming to increase pricing transparency in grocery markets. The bill does not apply to gasoline, prescription drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.
