Rhode Island H7514 creates a new chapter to protect consumers from coercive tactics at grocery stores.

Rhode Island H7514 creates a new chapter called the "Price Tags Act" to protect Rhode Island consumers from coercive tactics at grocery stores. This includes prohibiting suppliers from failing to extend the same terms of sale to all retailers and wholesalers for covered goods. It also makes it unlawful for suppliers to refuse to sell to retailers or wholesalers under certain conditions. The act defines terms such as "covered goods," "covered retailer," "covered supplier," and "dominant covered retailer." The act takes effect upon passage.
