Businesses must disclose and limit some personalized online prices

A person who works with others for financial gain to commit qualifying retail theft would commit organized retail theft, and a person who handles the stolen goods to support that theft would commit accessory organized retail theft. The rule covers retail property worth more than $2,000 taken through shoplifting by one or more people, and people who receive, store, sell, or otherwise handle that property, including through online platforms. The property must be taken during a 365-day period or transferred to a person who knowingly buys stolen retail property for unlawful distribution. The offenses are class D felonies, or class C felonies when the person gains $10,000 or more. These provisions apply on or after October 1, 2026.

Businesses that advertise an online price increased through a consumer's personal data must clearly disclose that the price was increased using personal data. The rules cover people doing business in the state, retail sellers, and third-party delivery services that set prices for household goods or services using personal data. Retail sellers and third-party delivery services may not use surveillance pricing, except for listed situations such as qualifying discounts, cost-based differences, supply-and-demand changes, loyalty programs, and correcting pricing errors. The rules do not apply to certain insurance and financial-credit activities. Only the Attorney General may enforce violations, and the text does not create a private right to sue. These provisions take effect July 1, 2027.

A person convicted of a crime may ask the sentencing court to order DNA testing of biological evidence held by specified government agencies, laboratories, or the court. The process covers people who are incarcerated or remain under probation, parole, or correctional supervision after completing incarceration. The petitioner must swear that the testing relates to the conviction and that the evidence contains biological material. After notice and a hearing, the court must order testing when the listed innocence-related requirements are met and may order testing under a separate standard involving a possible changed verdict or sentence. Testing cannot be denied because the petitioner cannot pay, and an indigent petitioner must receive appointed counsel. A petition may be filed during incarceration or afterward while the person remains under the listed supervision.
