§486-116  Misrepresentation of price. 
Whenever any commodity or service is bought or sold, or is offered, exposed, or
advertised for sale or purchase, by weight, measure, or count, the price shall
not be misrepresented, nor presented in any manner calculated or tending to
mislead or deceive an actual or prospective purchaser or seller.  The price of
consumer commodities, when offered for sale at retail, shall be clearly
displayed and shall reflect the retail price at which the public may, without
special credentials or other requirements, purchase the commodities.  The price
displayed and the price actually charged the purchaser shall be identical
unless a prior agreement has been reached between the buyer and the seller or
the price charged is lower than the price displayed.  Whenever an advertised,
posted, or labeled price per unit of measure includes a fraction of a cent, all
numerals expressing the fraction shall be prominently displayed and the numeral
or numerals expressing the fraction shall be immediately adjacent to and of the
same general design and style as the whole numeral or numerals of the price per
unit as established by rule of the board. [L 1991, c 153, pt of §6; am L 1993,
