MN AG’s – pricing transparency guidance (Junk Fees) Takes effect January 1, 2025
As reported at the end of the 2024 Legislative session, the “Junk fee” bill for all businesses in Minnesota is effective January 1, 2025. MSSA members in the Auto repair, C-store and towing industries, this does apply to all of you. Example, when installing new tires, MSSA members will have to quote a price with all fees in the price (See example in the attached documents). Price for the tires, fees, and labor. Basically transparent. Our towing members, same thing. Price of the tow bill, fuel surcharge and any other fees (credit card, etc.) Only rates exempt from the “Junk fee bill) are all state and Federal taxes and fees.
Please review the attached guidelines from the Minnesota Attorney General’s office and reach out to me if any questions or concerns. – Lance
