New California law will ban restaurant surcharges, hidden fees
Californians will soon see a change on their bill the next time they decide to pick up the tab at a restaurant.
A new law aimed at banning “junk fees” is set to go into effect in July and will make restaurant surcharges illegal.
Under SB-478, restaurants will no longer be able to charge service fees and will instead have to fold those charges into its menu prices.
The new law was authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner and Sen. Bill Dodd and was sponsored by State Attorney General Rob Bonta when it was first introduced. The law prohibits businesses from charging those “junk fees” or burying added costs to artificially lower prices.
