HB321

Hawaii HB321 aims to protect consumers by prohibiting hidden fees in transient accommodations and requiring full fee disclosure.

Hawaii HB321 addresses the issue of "drip pricing" by prohibiting businesses from charging undisclosed fees on transient accommodations and resort time shares. The bill mandates that all fees must be clearly disclosed at the time of purchase, including in advertisements. It also requires that any taxes and fees displayed as a percentage of the cost must be shown as a dollar amount. This legislation seeks to prevent deceptive trade practices and ensure consumers are fully informed about the total cost of their purchases.
