HB617

Provides with respect to hidden fees charged to consumers

Chamber Passed·5/7/26

Louisiana HB617 mandates clear disclosure of total prices, including fees, for goods and services.

HB617 requires suppliers to clearly and conspicuously display the total price of goods and services, including any mandatory fees or surcharges, in consumer transactions. It defines "goods" and "price-variable supplier" and provides specific compliance requirements for different types of businesses, such as restaurants, hotels, and broadband providers. The law aims to prevent hidden fees and ensure consumers are fully informed about the total cost of their purchases.
