 4 the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 5 (a) "covered establishment" means a food or beverage service estab-
 6 lishment that is part of a chain with fifteen or more locations
 7 nationally doing business under the same name and offering for sale
 8 substantially the same menu items, or a beverage service establishment
 9 or similar establishment that is not part of such a chain that voluntar-
 10 ily registers with the United States Food and Drug Administration to be
 11 subject to the federal requirements for nutrition labeling of standard
 12 menu items pursuant to 21 CFR 101.11(d), or any successor regulation;
 13 (b) "dynamic pricing" means the practice of both increasing and
 14 decreasing prices, based on market conditions, the season and supply
 15 changes; and

 17 for a service is strong and lowering prices when demand for goods or
 18 services is weak in the absence of changes in market conditions, the
 19 season and supply.
 20 2. (a) No covered establishment shall engage in the practice of surge
 21 pricing.
 22 (b) The provisions of this subdivision shall not prohibit the imple-
 23 mentation of dynamic pricing during certain periods including but not
 24 limited to early-bird specials, happy hours and seasonal specials, or
