Montgomery Democratic State Representative Matt Hanson is introducing a bill that would require retailers to honor advertised savings, even if customers cannot access an app or digital coupons at the time.

House Bill 45 is in the Illinois Senate for consideration after a vote in the Illinois House with bipartisan support. It was referred to the Senate Assignments Committee last week.

Hanson says many stores entice customers with promises of savings through digital coupons or apps that people plan their shopping around, but then fail to honor the deals if something goes wrong with the technology.
