S 1005 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits gender-based price discrimination.

New Jersey's S 1005 prohibits businesses from charging different prices for substantially similar products or services based solely on the gender of the intended consumer, targeting practices often called the "pink tax." It directly affects retailers selling consumer goods and specific service providers like tailors, salons, and dry cleaners. The bill requires these businesses to clearly disclose all standard service prices in writing (posted in 14-point bold type) and display a prominent 24-point sign stating gender-based price discrimination is illegal. Price differences based on gender-neutral factors like materials, labor, or manufacturer pricing remain permitted.
