Hawaii HB321 seeks to safeguard consumers from deceptive trade practices by prohibiting businesses from charging undisclosed fees on transient accommodations and requiring full fee disclosure.

It also requires that any taxes and fees displayed as a percentage of the cost must also be shown as a dollar amount. This legislation targets the practice of "drip pricing," where fees are not disclosed until after a transaction begins, misleading consumers about the total cost.
