This Massachusetts law is not yet in effect, correct? And why does it not apply to airlines? And it's interesting that fees imposed by governmental agencies are exempted from this regulation by the government.
The Office of the Attorney General anticipates that some sellers may pass on a surcharge to consumers through a Tourism Destination Marketing District (TDMD) as established by Section 14 of Chapter 29 of the Acts of 2021. These surcharges are defined as “Government Charges” by 940 CMR 38.00 and therefore are exempt from the other requirements for disclosing the “Total Price.”
