This bill would force businesses to show you every single fee upfront when you buy something so you are not tricked by hidden costs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Have you ever bought something and watched the price jump at checkout because of surprise fees? This bill would make that illegal in Georgia. It forces companies to show you the real total price right away. The text does mention some exceptions, but overall it is a big win for honest shopping. Now is the time to support it before businesses try to add loopholes.
