Consumer Protection - As introduced, enacts the "Junk Fee Prevention Act." - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 3, Part 19 and Title 47, Chapter 18.

HB 2233, the "Junk Fee Prevention Act," prohibits businesses from using deceptive pricing practices that hide required fees in services like banking, travel, hotels, and ride-sharing. It requires businesses to display the total price - including all mandatory fees - clearly upfront before payment, rather than adding hidden charges later. The law directly affects consumers purchasing goods or services for personal use and businesses selling to them in Tennessee, banning tactics like misleading subtotals, small-print fees, or price increases after selection. It takes effect on July 1, 2027, with exemptions for government taxes and disclosed delivery fees.
