When Governor Patrick signed the item pricing waiver legislation into law (Chapter 138 of the Acts of 2012), he also introduced legislation that would take away the exemption in the Act that warehouse clubs received for item pricing.  H4234 removes the exemption granted to warehouse clubs.  It is scheduled for a hearing on July 25.
