That’s why I’m proudly introducing new bipartisan legislation, the No Rigged Grocery Prices Act, so that AI isn’t allowed to jack up the prices you pay for groceries when you go to the store or have them delivered at home.
I will introduce bipartisan legislation to ban AI surveillance pricing at grocery stores and third-party grocery delivery platforms, including clear disclosure requirements and limits on individualized pricing from personal data.
Occurrences
Evidence
A class-action lawsuit filed June 11 accuses The Washington Post of 'surveillance pricing' and says it used subscriber data to maximize renewal prices.
The Business Council is funding opposition to Letitia James' One Fair Price Package, which would outlaw surveillance or algorithmic pricing using shoppers' personal data.
The New York City Council introduced bills to ban surveillance pricing and dynamic pricing, including use of shoppers' location or browsing history to tailor prices.
FTC staff found intermediaries worked with at least 250 clients, including grocery stores, and could use location, demographics, browsing patterns, shopping history, and mouse movements to tailor pricing.
Assessments
By June 12, 2026, there is no clear evidence that Josh Gottheimer introduced the promised bipartisan federal bill targeting AI or surveillance pricing at grocery stores and third-party grocery delivery platforms with the specified disclosure and individualized-pricing limits. The available evidence confirms the policy problem exists and shows related action by other officials, including federal bills led by other members and state/local proposals, but not a Gottheimer-led introduction matching this promise. Because the promise was specifically to introduce legislation, and the record reviewed does not show that he did so, this is best scored as not delivered rather than partial.
