Maryland Implements New Law Prohibiting Personalized Grocery Pricing Based on Consumer Data

Maryland Implements New Law Prohibiting Personalized Grocery Pricing Based on Consumer Data

Maryland is set to enact the Protection From Predatory Pricing Act on October 1, a new law designed to safeguard consumers from personalized grocery pricing. This legislation prohibits covered grocery retailers and third-party delivery services from utilizing a customer's personal data to charge them higher prices for most tax-exempt groceries. Personalized pricing, also known as surveillance-based or dynamic pricing, involves setting individual prices for consumers based on collected personal data, which can include location, browsing history, and shopping activity.

Coppin State University Offers $50,000 Down Payments to Employees for West Baltimore Homeownership

Coppin State University, a historically Black college in West Baltimore, has launched a program offering $50,000 down payments to its full-time employees to purchase homes near campus. The initiative, named 'Near the Nest,' began in 2023 with $300,000 in state funding from the Seed Community Development Anchor Institution Fund. This fund provides money to institutions like hospitals and universities to invest in their communities. So far, the program has helped six faculty and staff members buy homes in the 21216 or 21217 ZIP codes of West Baltimore.
