IL HB0062

Creates the Junk Fee Ban Act requiring businesses to clearly and conspicuously disclose the total price when advertising or offering goods and services to consumers, with the total price displayed more prominently than any other pricing information

Prohibits misrepresenting the nature and purpose of fees, and requires disclosure of any fees excluded from the total price (such as shipping charges, taxes, gratuities, and interchange fees) before the consumer consents to pay

Requires short-term lodging providers (hotels, motels, short-term rentals) to include all required fees in their advertised total price, including through third-party booking sites and metasearch referrals

Exempts retail stores and food service establishments (restaurants, bars, taverns) from including total price in display prices, but requires them to notify consumers of fees prior to purchase through menus, signage, screens, or other reasonable methods

Grants the Attorney General enforcement authority under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, preempts local home rule regulation of price disclosure, and exempts wholesale membership clubs from the requirements
