The proposed bill, General Assembly Committee Bill No. 513, mandates that grocery stores in the state automatically apply digital coupons at the point of sale for consumers purchasing consumer goods. The bill defines key terms such as "consumer," "consumer good," "digital coupon," "grocery store," and "loyalty or rewards program." It specifies that any grocery store offering digital coupons must apply all available coupons for a consumer good automatically, and it grants the Commissioner of Consumer Protection the authority to adopt regulations to implement these provisions.

Additionally, the bill establishes a penalty for non-compliance, stating that grocery stores that fail to automatically apply the digital coupons will face a fine of up to one thousand dollars per violation. The effective date for this legislation is set for October 1, 2025. The bill aims to enhance consumer convenience and ensure that shoppers benefit from available digital discounts without needing to manually apply them.
