Provides that a person does not violate the provision if the total price of the goods or services being offered, displayed, or advertised, including any mandatory fees a consumer would incur during the transaction, is clearly and conspicuously disclosed in each advertisement or display and whenever a price is first shown to a consumer. Effective immediately.
