What Junk Fee Law Means For Biz In California And Beyond
June 4, 2024
With the enactment of S.B. 478 in October 2023, California broadened its already expansive consumer protection laws to address how a variety of fees and charges, described by some as junk fees, are advertised to consumers. Companies doing business in California are barred from advertising, displaying, or offering a price for a good or service that does not include all mandatory fees or other charges other than taxes and shipping fees as of July 1, 2024.
In this article, first published in Law360 on June 4, 2024, Sidley lawyers Amy Lally and Alex Ruiz outline what changes S.B. 478 will bring and what business need to do to stay compliant with these new mandates.
