This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding consumer fraud in Arizona. It introduces new requirements for businesses that advertise prices for goods or services, mandating that all mandatory fees or charges be included in the displayed price and that a clear refund process be outlined on receipts. Additionally, it prohibits price increases of more than ten percent immediately before a declared state of emergency and bans the use of digital shelf labels in businesses.

The bill also establishes penalties for non-compliance, classifying violations as unlawful practices subject to investigation by the attorney general, who may seek injunctions and impose civil penalties up to $5,000. Definitions for "digital shelf label" and "mandatory fees or charges" are provided to clarify the terms used in the new regulations. Overall, these changes aim to enhance consumer protection and transparency in pricing practices.
