An Act providing for modernization of unit pricing laws to improve transparency and consistency and for Department of Agriculture rulemaking authority; and imposing penalties.

HB 1797 modernizes unit pricing laws for packaged goods (like food or household items) to make price comparisons clearer for consumers. It directly affects businesses selling these products and grants the Department of Agriculture authority to create specific rules for consistent pricing practices. Key provisions include updating outdated pricing standards, requiring clear unit pricing labels (e.g., "per ounce" or "per pound"), and establishing penalties for non-compliance. The bill aims to reduce confusion and ensure transparency in retail pricing without specifying which products are covered.
