AN ACT CONCERNING MANDATORY FEES CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH CONSUMER GOODS AND SERVICES.

HB 5558 requires businesses selling consumer goods or services in Connecticut to clearly disclose all mandatory fees. It prohibits businesses from misleading consumers about fee types and mandates that advertised prices include all required fees upfront. This directly affects retailers, service providers, and consumers by increasing price transparency. The law aims to prevent hidden costs at checkout by ensuring fees are visible before purchase.
