BILL NUMBER:S7277
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to unit pricing
PURPOSE:
To amend the unit pricing law to include chain stores with
annual sales of consumer commodities in excess of $2.5 million.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill would amend the exemption provisions
contained within the unit pricing law to require unit pricing
disclosure in chain stores selling more than 82.5 million of consumer
commodities per year.
JUSTIFICATION:
The unit pricing law requires stores selling over $2.5
million per location per year of consumer commodities to disclose the
price per measure as well as the retail selling price. This allows
customers to comparison shop so as to find the best value.
Unit pricing is particularly important today because manufacturers of
grocery items no longer sell products in standard sizes. Consumers
are faced with a confusing array of packages for all kinds of
products including coffee, ice cream, tuna fish, cosmetics, soaps and
