  Wanted to see if it finally included taxes on price tags… but instead this law explicitly excludes taxes. So close.

    The government needs to provide a service if we ever want taxes to be included. Taxes vary by city and can even depend on where you live, so sellers wouldn't be able to give you a price until you say where you are and where you're from for some sales. That's why you basically need a third party if you run an ecommerce website, unless you have a team to track down every time a county or city changes their taxes.

      You could exclude prices on preprinted tags and just regulate shelve pricing and store signs I guess.

Every ecommerce site already has to calculate taxes on checkout, already has a third party for this information (usually the payment processor).
