Bill > HB05562

This bill proposes to amend state statutes to regulate the use of the term "dollar store" by retailers. Specifically, the legislation would prohibit a retailer from marketing or presenting itself as a "dollar store" unless a significant majority of its merchandise is priced at or below one dollar. The purpose of this bill is to prevent potential consumer confusion by ensuring that businesses using the "dollar store" label actually offer most of their products at the one-dollar price point. By establishing this requirement, the bill aims to create more transparency in retail marketing and protect consumers from misleading business naming practices. Retailers who do not meet the criteria of having a significant majority of goods priced at one dollar would be prohibited from using the "dollar store" designation.
