Prohibits wholesale dealers from price gouging sale of physical goods.
This bill prohibits wholesale dealers from raising prices on physical goods (such as food, medical supplies, or beverages) unreasonably without justification, defining "price gouging" as hikes not tied to inflation, supply disruptions, or market fluctuations. It directly affects businesses selling goods wholesale to retailers or other resellers. Violations would be enforced under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act, with fines up to $20,000 per offense and potential legal actions like cease-and-desist orders. The law aims to prevent unjust price increases that harm small businesses purchasing these goods.
