House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to enhance consumer protection regarding grocery pricing in Louisiana by enacting the "Make Affordable Groceries Again Act." This legislation introduces a new chapter in the Louisiana Revised Statutes, defining key terms such as "covered goods," "covered retailer," and "dominant covered retailer." It prohibits covered suppliers from failing to extend the same terms of sale to all retailers and wholesalers purchasing covered goods on the same volume unit basis within a reasonable time frame. Additionally, it mandates that suppliers provide anonymized terms of sale from contracts with dominant retailers upon request and outlines conditions under which suppliers cannot refuse sales to retailers or wholesalers.

The bill also establishes liability for covered suppliers and dominant retailers for violations of these provisions, while providing defenses against liability under certain circumstances. Enforcement mechanisms are included, allowing the attorney general or affected parties to seek civil penalties or injunctions for violations. The act is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
