AI Summary

This bill amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make it unlawful for any person to advertise, display, or offer a price for goods or services that does not include all mandatory fees or surcharges, which are defined as fees that must be paid to purchase the item, are not reasonably avoidable by the consumer, or would be reasonably expected to be included in the advertised price, excluding government-imposed taxes. The bill provides specific compliance methods for various entities, including food delivery platforms, which must clearly disclose delivery costs and fees, and auctioneers or service providers whose total costs are variable, requiring them to disclose factors influencing price and any mandatory fees. It also clarifies that reasonable postage or shipping fees are permissible and that discounts can still be offered, while also outlining exemptions and alternative compliance for financial institutions and certain telecommunication and internet service providers by referencing existing federal regulations.
