flag Maryland proposes ban on dynamic grocery pricing to ensure fair, stable prices.

flag Governor Wes Moore has introduced legislation to ban dynamic and surveillance-based pricing in Maryland grocery stores, requiring prices to stay fixed for at least one business day and prohibiting the use of personal data to set individual prices. flag The bill, aimed at ensuring price fairness amid rising costs, treats violations as unfair trade practices with penalties up to $25,000. flag While supported by some retailers, the Maryland Retailers Alliance opposes it, arguing prices are set uniformly based on wholesale costs and competition, not consumer data. flag The bill is expected to be considered in the 2026 General Assembly session, sparking debate over whether the proposed regulations address a real consumer threat or overreact to a non-existent issue.
