It will be illegal for businesses to charge customers hidden fees in California starting July 1. Companies often add on these extra fees when booking a hotel room or purchasing a concert ticket.
Under Senate Bill 478, businesses such as concert venues, restaurants and hotels will need to be more transparent about the total cost of a purchase and what any attached fees are for. But restaurant unions rallied and proposed an exemption to this bill. Saturday evening, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1524 into effect. This law, instead of outlawing hidden fees entirely, requires charges to be clearly displayed on menus or advertisements.
CBS 8 asked fans outside of the Blink 182 concert at Petco Park about the new laws. The concert goers were all too familiar with extra fees, especially when it comes to concert tickets.

How about a breakdown of my income tax and property tax? How much of it goes to public projects, government salary, foreign aid, paying back bonds+interests?

California collected $425 million from 3.73 million vehicle owners who were 60 days late renewing their registrations in 2019. The average registration that year was $289. $425,000,000/3,730,000 is $113.94. That's a 39.4% penalty/FEE.

lets do away with registration fees, why do we have to continue to pay for a vehicle that we already paid for?

It's ridiculous that restaurants are exempt from these hidden fees. Even if the restaurant is transparent with these fees, they should not be allowed to charge customers with these extra fees. Gavin Newsom should not be carving out an exemption for restaurants.
