Riley backed legislation to stop corporations from charging small businesses more than chains and to extend protections to service fees.

Evidence

"Bringing down costs for working people" and "RILEY BILL TO REDUCE CRIME, PROTECT UPSTATE WORKERS AND SMALL BUSINESSES PASSES HOUSE"

The current official House homepage shows Riley's office still emphasizing cost reduction and small-business-related legislation, but it does not identify the specific price-discrimination or swipe-fee/delivery-app bill promised in the campaign claim.

Riley introduced the No Taxes on Utility Bills Act for households and small businesses.

This is concrete legislative action by Riley to reduce costs for small businesses, but it addresses utility taxes and surcharges rather than the specific corporate price-discrimination, delivery-app, point-of-sale, or credit-card-swipe-fee protections named in the promise.

Assessments

partial same_term

The available evidence shows Riley taking same-term action on broader small-business and consumer cost issues, including public emphasis on lowering costs and introducing a utility-bill tax measure. But the record provided does not show him specifically supporting or materially advancing legislation to ban corporate price discrimination against small businesses or to expand protections tied to delivery-app, point-of-sale, or credit-card swipe fees. That makes this closer to partial progress on the general theme of the promise than full delivery.
