Bill > HB1216

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to require digital platforms like ticket, lodging, and food delivery services to prominently display the total price, including all mandatory fees, at the initial point of product or service display. The bill defines several types of digital platforms, including primary and secondary ticket platforms, accommodations booking platforms, homestay platforms, hotel platforms, and food delivery platforms. Specifically, these platforms must show the complete price upfront, with the only exceptions being taxes or fees imposed by government entities. The bill aims to prevent consumers from being misled by initial prices that do not reflect the true total cost of a transaction. By mandating clear and conspicuous pricing, the legislation seeks to protect consumers from potentially deceptive pricing practices across various online service platforms. The new requirements will take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment, giving businesses time to adjust their pricing and display practices to comply with the new regulations.
