Business Provisions
Cuomo's plan also includes a number of more general provisions affecting businesses. One is a plan to end what's colloquially called the "pink tax," essentially gender-based price differences in products that are functionally the same, such as razors and shampoos. To this end, the governor plans to advance legislation to prohibit gender-based pricing discrimination for substantially similar or like-kind goods and services. It will require certain service providers to post price lists for standard services; businesses that violate the law would be subject to civil penalties.
