Can I charge different prices to different customers without violating discrimination laws in Mississippi? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents provided, there are no specific laws or regulations in Mississippi that prohibit charging different prices to different customers. However, businesses should be aware of federal and state discrimination laws that prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, religion, and national origin.

If a business charges different prices to different customers based on a protected characteristic, it could be considered discriminatory and a violation of these laws.

Additionally, businesses should ensure that their pricing practices do not violate any other applicable laws or regulations, such as those related to false advertising or unfair trade practices.

It is recommended that businesses consult with a legal professional to ensure that their pricing practices are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
