Pennsylvania HB1797 modernizes unit pricing laws to enhance transparency and consistency for consumers.

Pennsylvania HB1797, known as the Uniform Unit Pricing Modernization Act, mandates that retailers in the state display unit prices for consumer commodities. These prices must be clearly shown next to the item or on the shelf tag, provided per common unit of measure, and formatted according to NIST Special Publication 1181 standards. For e-commerce and electronic shelf labels, unit prices must be digitally available in a uniform manner. The Department of Agriculture has rulemaking authority to align with NIST updates and may grant exceptions for small retailers.
