This bill would prohibit manufacturers and service providers from charging different prices for substantially similar products or services based on the gender of the people intended to use them—a practice commonly known as the "pink tax." The law would apply to both consumer products (like razors, clothing, and toiletries) and services, with color differences alone not counting as a substantial product difference. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the ban as an unfair and deceptive trade practice, with the same penalties available under existing FTC law, while state attorneys general could also bring civil lawsuits on behalf of their residents to stop violations and recover damages. The bill does not establish new funding or implementation timelines, instead relying on existing FTC enforcement mechanisms and authority.
