Restaurant surcharges are officially an exception to the California junk fee law
🗑 California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 1524 into law on June 29, exempting restaurants from SB 478's junk fee ban effective July 1. The law, introduced by State Sen. Bill Dodd, mandates restaurants to disclose service fees and their purposes upfront on menus. Supported by the California Restaurant Association, the exemption applies to restaurants, bars, and food services, requiring clear fee displays within a year of the law’s implementation.
