# Oregon Legislature Proposes Pricing Regulation

Oregon House Democrats, led by Representative Nathan Sosa and colleagues, are preparing legislation for the 2027 session aimed at curbing corporate practices that use personal data and algorithms to inflate prices for consumers. The proposed measures target price manipulation, junk fees, and data privacy abuses that disproportionately impact Oregon residents, with the goal of ensuring fair pricing and protecting consumer interests.

- Procurement professionals should anticipate new regulatory requirements affecting contracts involving data analytics, pricing algorithms, and consumer data usage within Oregon.
- Vendors providing pricing or data-driven services to Oregon state agencies may face increased compliance obligations or restrictions.
- This legislation signals a growing focus on data privacy and fair pricing in public procurement, which could influence contract terms and vendor selection criteria.
- Organizations engaged in technology or consulting services related to pricing strategies should evaluate potential impacts on their offerings and contract proposals in Oregon.
