Under new law, retail stores no longer need price tags in Michigan
DETROIT (AP) -- For the first time in decades, price tags no longer are required on most retail items in Michigan stores.
A law repealing the price-tag requirement took effect last Thursday. Gov. Rick Snyder had urged the Legislature to get rid of tags, saying they were unnecessary and discouraged new business.
Massachusetts is the only other state with a price-tag requirement. Some older residents and unions opposed the change in Michigan. Unions fear job losses because stores won't need workers to put tags on items.
Tom Scott of the Michigan Retailers Association tells the Detroit Free Press that some stores still can choose to keep price tags. The new law requires that prices be displayed close to the item.
