This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding consumer fraud in Arizona. It introduces a new section, 44-1535, which mandates that any person advertising or offering prices for goods or services must include all mandatory fees in the displayed price and provide a clear refund process on receipts. Additionally, it restricts price increases to no more than ten percent immediately before a declared state of emergency and prohibits the use of digital shelf labels by businesses.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for non-compliance, categorizing 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 also included to clarify the terms used in the new regulations. Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and consumer protection in pricing practices.
