This bill prohibits online retailers from setting different prices based on a customer's device hardware (like battery life or age), software, or physical location. It directly affects online stores that adjust prices using these factors when a customer shops through their device. Retailers may still adjust prices for legitimate reasons like local costs, real-time demand surcharges for immediate services, or physical store location differences due to taxes. The law does not restrict general discounts, coupons, or public promotions that don't rely on device-specific data.

This bill allows counties without a locally published newspaper to post official local laws and notices online instead of through print media. It directly affects counties that lack a newspaper within their boundaries, removing the requirement to use print publications for legal notices. The key provision exempts these counties from traditional newspaper publication rules, authorizing them to use the county's official website or state-run digital platforms for all required notices. This change simplifies compliance for counties that cannot meet the newspaper publication requirement, ensuring residents still receive official information through accessible digital channels. The bill amends existing county law to update publication methods for modern accessibility.
Prohibits the release of a consumer's electrical or gas consumption data to any police officer, or private, local, state or federal law enforcement entity without a judicial court-ordered subpoena, warrant or the consumer's written consent.
