California SB478 Junk-Fee Ban
All-in pricing - the price you see is the price you pay.
B · 17/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Ban drip fees so prices are honest up front.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics cite carve-outs.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
Took effect July 2024; a restaurant carve-out (SB1524) is disclosure, not lower prices.
4 · Liberty check
Consumer clarity vs. seller pricing latitude.
5 · The real tradeoff
Evidence favors transparency.
