HB4739

Junk Fee Prevention Act aims to combat deceptive pricing practices by prohibiting certain fees and surcharges.

The Junk Fee Prevention Act seeks to address deceptive pricing methods, known as junk fees, which artificially inflate prices and confuse consumers. The Act prohibits practices such as advertising prices without including all mandatory fees, charging excessive fees for early contract termination, and making misleading disclosures about subtotals and fees. It allows the Attorney General to bring civil actions on behalf of consumers for damages and injunctive relief. The Act also provides for monetary relief and attorney's fees for substantially prevailing parties.
