Prohibiting Price Gouging in Sales of Necessities
What it does: Under current law, a person engages in an unfair and unconscionable act or practice in violation of consumer protection laws if the person engages in price gouging during a declared disaster emergency. The act provides that a person engages in price gouging in the sale or offer for sale of certain goods or services if, after the governor declares a disaster emergency, which declaration may be based on a market disruption, the price of the good or service is increased by 10% or more above the price at which a similar good or service was sold or offered for sale before the disaster began.

“Not voting” is a recorded non-vote, not a reason for the absence. Parties come from public rosters; how we count.
