Representing East New York, Starrett City, Brownsville, and Canarsie, Lucas says the proposal is designed to help consumers cope with rising grocery prices while recognizing the growing role customers play in scanning, bagging, and completing their own purchases. If enacted, the measure would make New York one of the first states to establish a statewide consumer discount tied specifically to self-checkout purchases.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1559\">Lucas said the legislation is intended to deliver practical savings for working families while addressing affordability concerns affecting communities across Brooklyn and New York. <strong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1316\">&#8220;Families are paying more than ever for food, household goods and everyday necessities,&#8221;<\/strong> Lucas said. <strong data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1559\">&#8220;At the same time, retailers are increasingly asking customers to scan, bag and process their own purchases through self-checkout.
