Bill > S139

This bill amends Section 16 of Chapter 101 of the General Laws, which pertains to hawkers and peddlers, by removing the exemption that allowed the sale of "costume jewelry" valued at ten dollars or less per piece by nonprofit or charitable organizations. In plain language, this means that under the proposed changes, all jewelry, regardless of its type or value, sold by individuals who travel from place to place to sell their goods (hawkers and peddlers) will be subject to the same regulations, and the previous exception for inexpensive costume jewelry sold by charities will no longer apply.
