NJ bans ‘surveillance pricing’ for groceries
( July 24, 2026, 16:22 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has signed legislation that bars using data about consumers' spending habits to raise prices on their grocery items.

The last thing they need is companies secretly using their personal data to charge them more than someone else for the exact same product,” Sherrill said. “If businesses want to compete, they should do so by offering better prices, not by finding new ways to squeeze shoppers.
