  I also live in Oregon, and I’d be willing to bet that this comes down to a legal argument. Meaning if you don’t think a fee is fair you can pursue legal action. The effective way to regulate this would be have an agency that tracks this stuff and when something is amiss, the offender gets fined. Which is to say that if you wanted to pursue this, I doubt it would be worth your time being out of state.

  The most obvious assumption that comes to my mind is that if you're a Californian visiting the rest of the US, you're not covered in local businesses. If you're from the rest of the US visiting California, you're covered by this bill as the business you're purchasing from will likely assume you're a Californian. In a situation where the business finds out your real address (as is the case in many online transactions where you input your billing address) you probably won't be covered unless the wording of the bill specifically forces businesses based out of California to apply this rule to all business they conduct. I'm mostly curious about the online transactions, as that seems like a pretty big motivation to exit California if you're a business owner.

    Companies have been very specific around CCPA requests but that's a bit different price display.
