Section 170.061 Publisher to file copy of book and price statement with state board--other required agreements.

170.061. Before the publisher of any school textbook offers the same for sale to any school board in the state of Missouri, he shall file a copy of the textbook in the office of the state board of education with a sworn statement of the list price and the lowest net price at which the book is sold anywhere in the United States under like conditions of distribution. The publisher shall file with the state board of education a written agreement to furnish the book or books to any school board in Missouri at the price so filed. The publisher must further agree to reduce the prices in Missouri if reductions are made elsewhere in the country, so that at no time may any book be sold in Missouri at a higher price than is received for the same book elsewhere in the country where like methods of distribution prevail. The publisher shall further agree that all books offered for sale in Missouri shall be equal in quality to those deposited in the office of the state board of education as to paper, binding, print, illustration and all points that may affect the value of the books.
