  Read what they said

  Thank you. Uh, Mr. President, I'm gonna give opposing view.

I think this bill, I think this bill is a step in the wrong direction. Um, I, I ran a bill making referendum harder, harder when we make decisions with cities, cities dealing with zoning and planning. And I, and I made the referendum harder and I'm glad I we did that.

Um, the first bill, um, is really focused on making sure that pricing is accurate so that someone, uh, we already have these laws in place but to, to, uh, make sure we're enforcing that the price that is put on the item itself is actually the price that's rung up at, um, when you go to the, uh, through the line.

  Describes the bill as raising fines for retailers that repeatedly misprice items and requiring certain intentionally added ingredients in menstrual products to appear on the ingredients list.

  Read what they said

  So, um, this is a, now a consumer protection bill. It has two components in it. As I said, they both went through the process, um, through the entire committee structure that we have. Um, one of them is about accurate pricing. It does not add any laws about accurate pricing. It just, um, increases the penalty. If you, uh, if a retail organization is consistently continuing to misprice items, um, it will increase the fine. An example I was given of one place where, uh, they had price, uh, they failed their price accuracy, uh, inspections 28 times.
