Human services: food assistance; dynamic pricing of WIC approved items; prohibit. Amends sec. 5105 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.5105) & adds sec. 5102.

This bill prohibits grocery stores in Michigan from using dynamic pricing for food items eligible for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). It defines dynamic pricing as fluctuating prices based on demand, season, consumer data, or artificial intelligence, and sets a penalty of up to $5,000 per item per day for violations. The fine collected from such violations must be deposited into a specific consumer protection fund, while the bill also updates existing rules regarding administrative fines for general food code violations.
