For legislation to restrict sales of certain items and products at flea markets, so-called. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to restrict the sale of certain items at flea markets. It prohibits the sale of food for children under 2 years old, drugs and cosmetics, and any product with an expiration date, unless the seller is an authorized manufacturer's or distributor's representative with written proof of such authorization. The bill defines a "flea market" as any location other than a permanent retail store where space is rented or made available to transient or limited vendors. Violators can face fines of $100 to $1,000 per violation, and the products will be seized and forfeited to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The bill also prohibits the use of false, fraudulent, or misrepresented credentials, which is also punishable under the same provisions.
