On June 4, 2026, the New York legislature passed the One Fair Price Act. If signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul, the One Fair Price Act would ban surveillance pricing in New York and prohibit the use of consumers’ personal data to set individualized, algorithmically determined prices. This would ensure all individuals are charged the same price for the same product. It would also require disclosure of any use of automated pricing systems. The One Fair Price Act does not affect discounts and loyalty programs and explicitly allows discounts, including loyalty programs, coupons, subscription pricing, and standard promotions, including for veterans and seniors. The One Fair Price Act also authorizes the Office of the Attorney General to bring civil cases for penalties and restitution against companies or retailers that use surveillance pricing.
