Prohibit surveillance-based price setting

This bill prohibits retailers in Minnesota from using surveillance technology to set different prices for individual consumers or specific groups of people. It directly affects retail food stores and other businesses that might use cameras, facial recognition, or other monitoring tools to track shoppers and charge them varying amounts for the same items. The law defines surveillance-based price setting as offering customized prices based on data collected through electronic surveillance technology, including biometric data, browsing history, and other personal information. Retailers must instead use traditional pricing methods like shelf tags or signs that display the same price for all customers of a specific item. The bill aims to prevent discriminatory pricing practices while maintaining transparency in how prices are determined and displayed.
