It requires businesses to show the total price of items at the point of sale, with specific exceptions for goods sold by weight, vending machines, prepared food, small items under 30 cents, and motor vehicles. The legislation also expands the list of excluded items to include live plants, live animals, and certain gift merchandise, while assigning the state Department of Agriculture and Rural Development the duty to enforce these pricing standards.
