Since 1941, Oklahoma law prevented retailers from selling items below cost, which stores typically do on Black Friday to get people into the store. The law mandated retailers price items six percent above what they paid for them. The new law changes that.

Under the new law, Oklahoma retailers will be allowed to sell general merchandise products at any price below their cost for up to 15 days in a row on a specific product and up to ten times a year.
