§ 39-23. Shopping cart requirements.

(a)

Each shopping cart shall meet the following requirements:

(1)

Have a color scheme or identifying mark distinctive from carts at other premises. An exception to this section is provided for stores which are part of a chain, and are doing business under the same name. Such stores may have similar or identical color schemes or identifying marks. Shopping cart color schemes or identifying marks must be designed in such a way to provide a contrasting background and, if letters are used, be legible and at least one (1) inch in height.

(2)

Have a warning visibly displayed on each cart, in both English and Spanish, which advises users not to remove the shopping cart from the premises and a notice to the public warning that unauthorized use by a person other than the owner is punishable by law.

(b)

It shall be unlawful for an owner to suffer, allow, permit, or maintain a shopping cart on the premises which does not meet the requirements of this section.
