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 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 that non-compliance with these provisions constitutes an unlawful practice, allowing the attorney general to investigate and seek injunctions against violators, who may face civil penalties up to $5,000. Definitions for "digital shelf label" and "mandatory fees or charges" are also provided, clarifying what constitutes these terms under the new law.
