HB 1779 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 12 (Commerce and Trade) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions, providing for algorithmic pricing transparency and fairness; and imposing duties on the Office of Attorney General and Bureau of Consumer Protection.

HB 1779 requires businesses using algorithms to set prices (like online retailers or service platforms) to disclose how those algorithms work to consumers. It mandates the Pennsylvania Attorney General and Consumer Protection Bureau to develop rules for transparency and investigate unfair pricing practices. The bill directly affects companies that use dynamic or automated pricing models and aims to give consumers clearer insight into how prices are determined. This is a concrete policy change focused on disclosure, not on regulating specific prices or outcomes.
