unfair practices; goods; services; pricing

Arizona's SB 1167 requires businesses advertising prices for goods or services in the state to include all mandatory fees (like required surcharges customers can't avoid) in the advertised price and provide a clear refund process on receipts. It directly affects retailers and service providers by mandating transparent pricing and refund terms. Violations can result in a $5,000 civil penalty per offense, enforced by the Attorney General. The law excludes government taxes from the definition of mandatory fees. This bill focuses on preventing hidden costs and clarifying consumer refund rights.
