    (a) Every retail establishment shall disclose the total selling price and unit price in compliance with the standards adopted and amended by the National Council on Weights and Measures and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Handbook 130, Uniform Laws and Regulations in the Areas of Legal Metrology and Fuel Quality.

    (b) The words “Unit Price” shall appear adjacent to the displayed unit price.

    (c) The total selling price and unit price information shall include a description of the commodity, and size, and be physically located on the commodity, or as close as practical to it while clearly identifying the applicable commodity.

    (d) The total selling price and unit price information shall be presented boldly, clearly, and conspicuously and shall be as large as practical and not smaller than 7/32 inch in height.

    (e) The total selling price and unit price information shall exclude any deposit as part of the price but shall indicate that a deposit is required when a deposit is required.

    (f) The total selling price shall be simultaneously displayed to individuals at each check-out location as consumer commodities are processed at the point of sale to allow consumers an opportunity to assess prices and inquire about all prices that may be inaccurate.

    (g) The use of electronic shelf labels to increase prices or otherwise use real-time dynamic pricing to increase prices when a retail establishment is open to the public is prohibited. Retail establishments may only increase prices on electronic shelf labels during business hours to correct genuine and documented pricing errors and shall inform individuals present in the store of the price correction.
