Coupon discrimination by large grocery stores targeted in Senate bill

Washington senators are debating a bill that puts online grocery coupons within reach of people who don’t have a smartphone or computer to access them.

Senate Bill 6265 would require larger grocery stores to honor posted electronic coupons even if consumers have not subscribed to the store’s app or website. (A PDF of a version of the bill can be viewed here.)

The legislation mandates that certain larger grocery establishments, defined as retail stores with over 15,000 square feet, primarily selling household food items, must credit any coupons or charge the reduced sales prices that are found online or in the store.
