HB 24-1151

House Bill 24-1151, which has been signed into law, requires businesses to include all mandatory fees and charges when advertising prices for products or services. This means that if you see an advertised price, it must reflect the total cost including any additional required fees. The bill doesn't apply to certain sectors like real estate brokers, air carriers, and specific professions regulated by the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board. If a business violates this rule, they can face legal action from the attorney general or district attorneys for deceptive practices.
