Lower Grocery Prices Act

HR 8898, the Lower Grocery Prices Act, requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study how grocery prices for U.S. consumers have changed over the past 20 years, including related economic data. The GAO must report its findings and recommendations to specific congressional committees within 180 days of the bill's enactment. This bill does not directly lower prices but mandates a review to identify potential policy options. The study will focus on the Consumer Price Index for food at home and aim to inform future legislative action.
