New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has signed the Fair Price Protection Act into law, prohibiting retailers from using personal data, online activity, location history, or algorithmic predictions to charge different prices for identical products to different consumers. The law also imposes a one-year moratorium on new electronic shelf label deployments whilst regulators study their impact.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell pricing software or electronic shelf labels to US grocers, New Jersey just banned your core product. This will likely spread to other states—watch your sales pipeline in California, Massachusetts, and Illinois, and expect your customers to ask you whether your system complies with similar laws before they deploy.
