Eugene,
This NIST reference is a little dated but gives a summary by State. MOST
States that list unit pricing detail require Customary.
http://www.nist.gov/pml/wmd/metric/upload/US-Pricing-Laws-All-States_2.pdf
Exceptions:
*New York is mostly written around Customary but has a metric afterthoug
Customary only again. Note that the only good source I can find for some of
these states is from NIST documentation. No joy on New Hampshire.
The metric "permitted" in the UUPR is pretty much a crock as I haven't found
any state using that text or fully permitting metric.

Again, metric is forbidden, only Customary permitted.

Well, metric isn't forbidden, but this isn't very clear:

Very similar to Mass. Again ONLY Customary measure allowed. Since metric is
FORBIDDEN, that seems to explain why it isn't used more. UoM starts around
page 13 of the pdf.

Years ago, I lived in Mass. for a decade so I started there. Their law kicks

The allowed units of measure are ONLY the Customary units from the H130 list,
Well, I attempted to do Michigan. Unit pricing is voluntary here. Various
stores do a POOR job of uniformity of the unit of measure for different brands
and sizes within a commodity. Apparently the only recall is to complain to the
store management.

John,
I already have a hard (printed) copy of HB 130 and know the voluntary users of
the UUPR.
However, I do not yet know the wording of the ten mandatory laws or regulations
*requiring* Unit Pricing.
The actual wording of those ten laws or regulations are the focus of my search!
Can you help
Eugene,
May I suggest an alternate approach? Many States also allow/encourage it on a
voluntary basis. In any State in which it is commonly used, it would be nice
to know if the standard is that of the UUPR (Uniform Unit Pricing Regulation)
contained in Handbook 130, or the State has establis
Unit Pricing is mandated in nine States (+DC).
If "Unit Price" is defined as Dollars (or cents) per unit of measurement, in
retail marketplaces,
what are the units of measurement prescribed, or limited to, or allowed, if
any, in each of these ten jurisdictions, respectively?
