 4 the term:
 5 (a) "food retail establishment" shall mean a supermarket, grocery
 6 store or other food retailer.
 7 (b) "self-service checkout" shall mean any automated process that
 8 enables a customer to scan, bag, and pay for their purchases at an
 9 in-store checkout kiosk and without human assistance.
 10 (c) "self-service checkout kiosk" shall mean any machine at a fixed
 11 location within a food retail establishment store at which a customer
 12 can use self-service checkout for the customer's purchases.
 13 (d) "supermarket" shall mean a physical retail store devoted to offer-
 14 ing food for human consumption for sale to the general public.
 15 2. Each food retail establishment which provides for self-service
 16 checkout shall reduce the price of any goods purchased through a self-
 17 service checkout kiosk by ten percent.
 18 3. Whenever there shall be a violation of this section, an application
 19 may be made by the attorney general in the name of the people of the
 20 state of New York to a court or justice having jurisdiction by a special
 21 proceeding to issue an injunction, and upon notice to the defendant of
 22 not less than five days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of such
 23 violation; and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or
 24 justice that the defendant has, in fact, violated this section, an
 25 injunction may be issued by such court or justice, enjoining and
