An Act relative to stores offering digital coupons

HD 356 requires grocery stores, supermarkets, and warehouse clubs to offer paper coupons of equal value when providing digital coupons for retail goods. It mandates that stores apply digital coupons to purchases for customers aged 65+ upon showing government-issued photo ID, and allows customers to request digital coupons when using store loyalty cards. Stores violating these rules face civil penalties of up to $2,500 for a first offense and $5,000 for repeat violations. The Attorney General’s office will establish rules to implement these requirements. This bill directly affects stores selling groceries or similar items and their customers, particularly seniors.
