S.2342

Rhode Island S2342 limits the number of self-service checkout stations in grocery stores and restricts employee workloads for monitoring these.

Rhode Island S2342, known as the "Restrictions on Self-Service Checkout Stations Act," imposes limits on the number of self-service checkout stations grocery stores can operate and mandates a minimum ratio of manual checkout stations to self-service checkout stations. The act caps the number of self-service checkout stations at eight per location and requires at least one manual checkout station for every two self-service stations. Additionally, it restricts the workload of employees monitoring these stations, ensuring they are not assigned additional duties while performing this task.
