Connecticut: http://www.nist.gov/pml/wmd/metric/upload/CT-2011.pdf 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.

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? I know that you have great skill in searching the Internet. Eugene. On Apr 23, 2014, at 10:21 AM, John M. Steele <jmsteele9...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Eugene, > > >May I suggest an alternate approach?
