OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued a statement in response to Senate Bill 478 (SB 478), a bill that he sponsored, being signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. Coauthored by Senator Bill Dodd (D-Napa) and Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), the legislation will prohibit hidden fees (also called ‘junk fees’) in California beginning on July 1, 2024.
Does this mean stores will list prices with tax included? >_>
No, taxes are specifically exempted.
Kinda seems like they can already, at least in CA? I don’t know why people in the states are so weird about this.

They can, yes. I want them to have to.
