Junk Fee Prevention Act aims to combat deceptive pricing and hidden fees in Tennessee.

The Junk Fee Prevention Act seeks to address deceptive pricing practices in Tennessee by prohibiting sellers from using certain methods that obscure the true cost of goods and services. It mandates that the total price, including all mandatory fees, must be clearly displayed before payment. The act also requires the commissioner of revenue to launch a public notice campaign by October 1, 2026, to inform consumers about these requirements.
