 Interesting, out in California, Governor Gavin Newsom is giving restaurants a year to comply with the new state law. Restaurants may continue to put surcharges on a bill as long as the amount is clearly stated on the menu. The governor signed an emergency bill this past weekend that exempts restaurants from the ban on hidden fees. Other businesses such as concert venues, hotels, Airbnb locations must reveal the total price up front, which I think is a good idea.
