Without waiting for new federal laws or federal regulators to take action against drip pricing, California is once again leading the way by enacting “Hidden Fee Statute” SB 478, which prohibits businesses from advertising or listing a price for a good or service that does not include all required fees or charges other than certain taxes (such as sales tax) and shipping costs.
