Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation that would make it illegal for businesses in California to tack on fees beyond their listed prices, like resort fees or service charges, which supporters believe are deceptive and harmful to consumers.
The new law aims to ensure that the price consumers see is the price they pay, with the exception of taxes and shipping fees, making California lead in legislation against hidden fees.
While the law would affect many businesses, restaurant owners have argued for an exemption, stating they already face challenges. They fear that following the law by including additional costs in listed prices might negatively impact their business.
