Bill Summary
Amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), entitled "An act prohibiting unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce, giving the Attorney General and District Attorneys certain powers and duties and providing penalties," further providing for definitions and for unlawful acts or practices and exclusions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to add new provisions regarding restaurant menu pricing and deceptive practices. Specifically, it makes it an unfair trade practice for a restaurant (defined broadly to include bars, cafés, food trucks, and similar food service establishments, but excluding grocery stores) to use any type of menu—whether printed, digital, online, or via QR code—without clearly and conspicuously displaying the price of food or beverage items before a customer makes a selection. The bill also expands the definition of unfair practices to include engaging in any fraudulent or deceptive conduct that could create confusion or misunderstanding for consumers. The legislation renumbers the existing provisions to accommodate the new language and ensures that these menu pricing requirements apply across various types of restaurant menus and digital platforms. The new law will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving restaurants time to adjust their menu practices to comply with the new pricing transparency requirements.
