No on AB 1347 | Keep the Receipt

Coalition of consumer advocates, biz orgs & citizens opposed to a tech mandate banning coupons on receipts, which hurts working families/underserved communities

Hundreds of thousands face a 'massive benefits cliff.' San Diego food banks are scrambling to keep up. https://t.co/MW5UmykA8s

The @SDUT shows how orgs serving the vulnerable "have been working overtime to maximize available resources to ensure food insecurity doesn’t worsen.” #AB1347 would hurt BOTH at risk Californians and the food banks already struggling to match their needs. https://t.co/GU5kKjo7dr

Rising grocery costs and dramatic drops in Gov. food allowances have “resulted in tremendous financial strain on thousands of San Diego families in need and made food donations more critical than ever, according to local food assistance organizations." https://t.co/GU5kKjo7dr

#AB1347 is both discriminatory and contradictory. The bill potentially pushes retailers into providing a receipt AND a coupon—generating two pieces of paper instead of one. This undermines the bill’s stated goal of waste reduction.

Maybe a customer needs a receipt but has concerns over creating a digital record of all their purchases. Should that be enough? Why force them to ask for a receipt? #NoonAB137

The harsh reality behind #AB1347 is that not all consumers have access to smartphones or email. And making them ask for a receipt or a coupon is unnecessary and unfair

Good piece from OC Register yesterday talking about how the efforts to limit paper receipts in CA via #AB1347 risks unintended consequences, such as hurting underserved communities.

#AB1347 forces CA consumers to ask for coupons in addition to their receipt. It's unfair & discriminatory to single out people who need them to make ends meet. Treat all Californians fairly. #NoOnAB1347

"Consumer packaged goods have experienced an average inflation rate of 11% over the past year... and many shoppers have reached a breaking point." AB 1347 would BAN coupons on printed receipts - coupons many shoppers rely on every week. #AB1347

Tell Sacramento elected officials to stop making life more difficult for California shoppers. #AB1347 hurts Californians on fixed incomes and tight budgets that rely on coupons.

Low-income and underserved communities rely on #coupons to put food on the table, care for family members, and make ends meet at a time of high inflation. Yet, #AB1347 bans the printing of coupons on receipts, even if a paper receipt is requested.

[No on AB 1347 | Keep the Receipt @CA_Receipts]

What’s wrong with that? #AB1347 conflicts w/ federal law & discriminates against consumers on govt assistance who require paper receipts to track SNAP, WIC and #CalFresh spending & who use paper receipts for returns, exchanges and proofs of purchase #treatallcaliforniansfairly

Some bad ideas never die. #AB1347 bans the printing of receipts unless specifically requested by consumers at retail outlets like supermarkets and big box stores where Californians purchase food, household items and personal care products. #CALeg

Opinion: AB161 transforms from e-receipt mandate to chemical regulatory bill https://t.co/03qzuq6nXj

If lawmakers are truly serious about a consumer product ban, they should use the appropriate vehicles currently in place to evaluate such concerns. #AB161 #KeepTheReceipt https://t.co/uo5NQOozAp

Great opinion piece in the @PasStarNews that highlights how far #AB161 has strayed from it's original form and why it is still a problematic bill. #keepthereceipt
