HOUSE LAWMAKERS PASSED A BILL THIS WEEK TO HELP MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ADVERTISED DISCOUNT AT THE GROCERY STORE. 

JOLIET REPRESENTATIVE NATALIE MANLEY SAYS HER BILL WAS INSPIRED BY AN ELDERLY WOMAN AHEAD OF HER IN LINE AT THE STORE, WHO DIDN’T RECEIVE THE SALE PRICE WHEN THE CASHIER RUNG UP HER GROCERIES.

MANLEY’S BILL REQUIRES SUPERMARKETS TO SHOW BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND THE SALE PRICE RIGHT AS A BAR CODE IS SWIPED. 

THE BILL NOW HEADS TO THE SENATE FOR CONSIDERATION.
