The Price Tags Bill
Illinois bill forces clear price tags on all fees
CONSUMER FRAUD-FEE DISCLOSURE
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the Junk Fee Ban Act would make stores and restaurants show the total price, including all fees, so shoppers know exactly what they will pay.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers would stop being surprised by hidden charges, while businesses would have to be more honest and may face penalties if they hide fees, so the bill protects everyday shoppers now as it moves through committees.
