AG Jackson announced that the state’s price gouging law is in effect across the state after Governor Josh Stein declared a state of emergency in advance of this week’s winter weather. The price gouging law makes it unlawful for businesses or sellers to charge excessively high prices during a crisis. 

“As the winter weather rolls in this week, stay safe and watch out for scammers trying to take advantage of consumers by jacking up their prices. If you think a business might be raising costs unlawfully, don’t hesitate to reach out to my office to file a complaint. We’ll look into it and take action to hold price gougers accountable.” – AG Jackson
