- It will be illegal for businesses to charge customers hidden fees in California starting July 1. Companies often add on these extra fees when booking a hotel room or purchasing a concert ticket.
Under Senate Bill 478, businesses such as concert venues, restaurants and hotels will need to be more transparent about the total cost of a purchase and what any attached fees are for. But restaurant unions rallied and proposed an exemption to this bill. Saturday evening, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1524 into effect. This law, instead of outlawing hidden fees entirely, requires charges to be clearly displayed on menus or advertisements.
CBS 8 asked fans outside of the Blink 182 concert at Petco Park about the new laws. The concert goers were all too familiar with extra fees, especially when it comes to concert tickets.

Yea I'm happy you guys are exposing/talking about this these random hidden fees are adding up and are ridiculous..especially when you ask "Where is this extra money I'm being charged for coming from?" And Cannot be answered in 2024 where hacking and theft is at an all time high! 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Oh they need this for car dealerships NOW. If you look at your starting price vs finishing price ,all those junk fees suddenly appear. Not cool.
I agree and it’s ridiculous because the fees aren’t cheap either
mainly people forget the sales tax on those big purchases lol 35k x 10.25 % oouuuff
Negotiate it them to zero. Or walk out.
How about a breakdown of my income tax and property tax? How much of it goes to public projects, government salary, foreign aid, paying back bonds+interests?
Junk. Fees.
Paying for trash.
Paying yearly property tax
Pay yearly vehicle registration
Gasoline tax
Smog check fee
Recycling fees.
.
Toll road fees.
Etc
Right? The government is responsible for the majority of junk fees.
How about hiding tax fees? Property tax, sales tax, CRV tax, SSA tax, state, federal, county, school, gas tax .. when are they gonna stop those? Oh that’s right .. rules for thee not for me .. clowns 🤡
The insanity won’t stop until Gavin is recalled. It’s time for reform. California is going down the drain.
It's ridiculous that restaurants are exempt from these hidden fees. Even if the restaurant is transparent with these fees, they should not be allowed to charge customers with these extra fees. Gavin Newsom should not be carving out an exemption for restaurants.
No more junk fees including tip jars is all fine and dandy lets promote good dealing like bantering and haggling too. Make the state prosper again.
How about just start policing again?
California collected $425 million from 3.73 million vehicle owners who were 60 days late renewing their registrations in 2019. The average registration that year was $289. $425,000,000/3,730,000 is $113.94. That's a 39.4% penalty/FEE.
lets do away with registration fees, why do we have to continue to pay for a vehicle that we already paid for?
@hashslinginhasher Originally is was a road use fee meant to pay for road repairs. Originally...
We went to USC football game, the parking was $85 dollars, we Ubered it in. Its a scam all the way around.
Let's eliminate poll taxes to vote while we are at it.
Oh wait, that did happen already.
Like some restaurants charge you for tips on your ticket 😂 last time I check you give tips if you want to, is not mandatory
Water bill insurance?
I hope this includes the extra fees when paying for college classes
Im sure the Arabic store owners will be happy about this law 😂
Thanks Biden!
I'll bet when you have a hard time having a bowel movement, you blame Biden as well!
we are sheep. happy that they are now telling us how we are being fucked, up front!
Sounds like she's describing taxes 😂
Too bad most of the junk fees come from the government...
Yes! More regulations will fix everything in society. Give us more laws, regulations, taxes and lots of rules. Thank you for protecting us CA state legislature! We love to give up our freedoms for security.
Dispensaries have the most hidden fees
