Prohibits certain deceptive pricing methods
This bill prohibits businesses from using deceptive pricing practices that hide mandatory fees for goods or services. It directly affects retailers, service providers, and landlords who sell or lease items, requiring them to clearly show the total price - including all fees - before payment. Key provisions mandate that businesses display the full price upfront, disclose fee amounts separately, avoid misleading subtotals or small fonts for fees, and cannot raise prices after a customer selects an item. The law aims to ensure transparency so consumers see the complete cost at the point of purchase.
