Bill > S2965

This bill amends Section 115A of Chapter 6 of the General Laws, which deals with unit pricing requirements for retail establishments. The key provision is that for the purpose of calculating a retail establishment's sales volume, which determines if they are exempt from unit pricing rules, the gross receipts from the sale of lottery tickets or shares and prepaid gift cards or stored value cards will now be excluded. This means that sales of these specific items will not count towards the total sales volume that might otherwise exempt a business from having to display unit prices, which is the price per standard unit of measure (like price per ounce or per pound) for products.
