Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 478 into law earlier this month, the bill is aimed at making pricing more transparent "There are costs that are really high to do business in San Francisco, and some people choose to offset those with service charges, which are legal in California, and we need to see how does this modify it at all," said Laurie Thomas from the Golden Gate Restaurant Association. "We need clarity from the Attorney General office and the bill's sponsors."
One of the bill's sponsors, Senator Nancy Skinner's office says "as long as restaurants prominently display what they're charging, that should be OK. The senator's office is monitoring any developments coming from attorney general office and will adjust accordingly before any legislation goes into effect."
