Establishes the "New York junk fee prevention act" to require clear and conspicuous pricing practices regarding junk fees.
The New York junk fee prevention act mandates that businesses clearly and conspicuously disclose the total price of goods or services, including any mandatory fees, in every offer or advertisement. It defines "mandatory fee" as any fee or surcharge added to the price of a good or service that is not reasonably avoidable, expected by the consumer, or added by default. The act also outlines enforcement mechanisms, allowing the attorney general or any adversely affected person to bring an action against violators to recover damages or statutory penalties.
