Why this matters
SB 0993 is the enforcement bridge that connects the Shopping Reform and Modernization Act (where dynamic and surveillance pricing prohibitions live) to the Michigan Consumer Protection Act’s unfair-trade-practices remedies — meaning consumers and the Attorney General could pursue MCPA actions against retailers who violate the new pricing rules. For businesses, it raises the stakes of the 2026 pricing-regulation package by adding statutory penalties, injunctive relief, and potential class actions on top of the underlying prohibitions.
