Consumer Protection - As introduced, requires certain food retail establishments to use a nondigital presentation of price; prohibits a food retail establishment from using personalized algorithmic pricing; makes other changes related to food retail establishments. - Amends TCA Title 47 and Title 53.
HB 2052 requires large food retail stores (over 15,000 sq ft or over 85,000 sq ft with 10% food sales) to use physical price displays like stickers or signs instead of digital electronic shelves. It prohibits personalized algorithmic pricing that uses consumer data - such as protected class information (e.g., age, race, gender) or behavior-tracking data - to set different prices for individual shoppers. The bill defines "surveillance pricing" as using electronic surveillance (e.g., cameras, sensors) to customize prices based on personal attributes. These changes directly affect major grocery chains and food retailers operating in Tennessee, aiming to prevent data-driven price discrimination.
