The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

Online ordering and delivery of groceries have grown exponentially in the past decade. Traditional retailers offer these services through their own websites/apps or through third-party services, such as Insta- cart. They provide convenient delivery to customers. However, retailers and services often mark up the prices of products over the in-store price, in addition to any delivery or service fees charged. This markup is not always clearly stated to the consumer. This legislation would require grocery retailers and/or delivery services to state whether the online price is greater or less than the in-store price. The goal is to provide the consumer with transparency in deciding if they want to pay a higher price for purchasing products online. It does not outlaw the practice, just requires companies be open and transparent about what mark-ups they are charging.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
