Although Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed the legislation (Public Act 5 of 2011) into law nearly six months ago, the repeal of the state’s item pricing requirement did not take effect until Thursday (September 1st).
Reports show that retailers are slow in transitioning to electronic price readers and stickers on shelving as opposed to each individual item. Furthermore, those items remaining in stock that had previously been individually priced will remain as such until either sold or removed from stock.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and the Michigan Retailers Association jointly provided retailers with information regarding compliance with the changes in requirements.
