Businesses would be forced to advertise the true cost of a purchase rather than enticing consumers with a low price, then hitting the buyer with a raft of fees.
With more people ordering via apps and drive-throughs, McDonald’s will phase out its self-serve soda machines in dining rooms by 2032.“I am sponsoring this bill to stop hidden fees because the price consumers see should be the price consumers pay,” Bonta said in a release.
President Biden, in his State of the Union address earlier this year, also called out the practice of adding hidden fees, promoting the Junk Fee Prevention Act.“My administration is also taking on junk fees, those hidden surcharges too many businesses use to make you pay more,” Biden said in the address. “For example, we’re making airlines show you the full ticket price upfront and refund your money if your flight is canceled or delayed.
“Junk fees may not matter to the very wealthy,” he said, “but they matter to most folks in homes like the one I grew up in.” According to Dodd’s office, Americans pay a total of $28 billion in junk fees per year, with 85% of Americans encountering the practice.
