Bill Summary
Consumer pricing information. Provides that it is a deceptive consumer sales act to display or advertise a purchase price for the subject of a consumer transaction that does not include all fees and charges other than: (1) taxes or fees imposed on the purchase by a unit of government; or (2) reasonably expected shipping or handling charges; that are required to be paid by the consumer to complete the consumer transaction.
AI Summary
This bill amends Indiana law to prohibit deceptive consumer sales practices by requiring that advertised purchase prices for goods or services must include all mandatory fees and charges, with exceptions for government-imposed taxes or fees and reasonably expected shipping or handling costs for goods. This change aims to ensure consumers are presented with the full cost of a transaction upfront, preventing misleading advertising where additional fees are revealed later. The bill also makes technical corrections and updates to existing consumer protection statutes, including references to specific sections within Indiana Code (IC) related to consumer transactions and deceptive acts.
