# Fair Grocery Pricing Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Fair Grocery Pricing Act (HR 1788) aims to address grocery pricing practices that lawmakers say are unfair to consumers. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the information provided, bills with this title typically focus on regulating how grocery stores set prices, potentially including measures to prevent price gouging, increase price transparency, or restrict certain pricing practices that may disproportionately affect lower-income shoppers. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily impact grocery retailers and their customers. Consumers—especially those on tight budgets—could benefit from provisions designed to make prices more transparent or fair.

Grocery store chains and food distributors would face new regulations on how they conduct their pricing operations. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House.
