Bill overview
This bill, which ultimately failed, aimed to strengthen Massachusetts’ laws against price-fixing and increase transparency for consumers. Specifically, it sought to require businesses to clearly display prices and prohibit agreements that artificially inflate costs. The bill also intended to provide consumers with more information about pricing practices, particularly in sectors like insurance, to promote fair competition and informed purchasing decisions. It was modeled after similar legislation introduced in previous sessions.
