Contact Congress about H.R. 4640: Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act of 2025

Companies could not use AI to change prices or wages based on personal tracking data, except in limited cases. They would have to explain these systems ahead of time and let people challenge bad data. Consumers and workers could sue over violations.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Latest action on H.R. 4640: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose prices or job terms are shaped by AI and personal data. It also affects businesses and employers that use automated tools for pricing, pay, scheduling, or work assignments. State enforcers, federal agencies, unions, and courts would also have new roles in enforcing or applying the rules.

Why this matters: This bill matters because AI could let companies use private data to change what people pay or earn without them knowing. The bill tries to put limits on that practice. It would also give people more information, more control over bad data, and more ways to sue. The real effect depends on how often companies use these systems now and how agencies and courts apply the rules.

Key provisions in H.R. 4640

  • Businesses could not use AI or other automated tools to set prices with surveillance or personal data. The bill allows limited exceptions for real cost differences, public group discounts, and loyalty programs.
  • Businesses would have to publish their pricing rules at least 180 days before using them. The rules must explain data checks, how customers can fix data, and how data affects prices.
  • The Federal Trade Commission, the main federal consumer protection agency, could enforce the pricing rules. Violations would count as unfair or deceptive conduct or unfair competition, including for common carriers and nonprofits.
  • State attorneys general could sue for residents when pricing rules are broken. They could seek court orders, compliance, damages of at least $3,000 per violation or actual damages, and other relief.
  • People could sue over pricing violations themselves. They could recover actual damages or at least $3,000 per violation, up to triple damages for willful violations, and costs and attorney's fees; they must sue within 5 years after discovering the violation.
