H-1283

   Amend House File 1032 as follows:
   1.  Page 2, after line 34 by inserting: 
   <8.  a.  A person shall not, directly or indirectly, discriminate in price offered to different grocery store purchasers of commodities of like grade and quality based on a grocery store purchaser’s participation in the program where the effect of the discrimination in price between a grocery store that participates in the program, and a grocery store that does not participate in the program, may substantially lessen competition between the grocery stores, or tend to create a monopoly among the grocery stores.
   b.  This subsection shall not prohibit a price differential that accounts for differences in the cost of manufacture, sale, or delivery resulting from the differing methods or quantities in which commodities are sold or delivered to a specific grocery store.>
