§18-2A-6. Retail prices; limitation on profit; violation; penalty.

It shall be the duty of the state board of education to fix prices at which the various books adopted shall be sold to patrons, the excess of which above contract price shall represent the profit to the retailer; but in no case shall such profit exceed twenty percent of the contract price. The state board of education shall notify each county superintendent of the list of books adopted on the state multiple list and the prices at which they are to be sold, and any person selling such books at a higher price than that fixed by the state board of education shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars.
