That's already illegal, as indicated by your link about the ongoing lawsuits.

Doesn't that depend on the state? I'm almost sure there are quite a few states that allow stores to charge a higher price at checkout than what the product is labeled with on the shelf.
That’s fraud, plain and simple. There are already laws against that. No more specific laws are needed.
Fraud: “a deliberate act of deception, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts intended to gain an unauthorized benefit—typically money or property—while causing loss to another party.”
Isn't it common for state sales taxes to be added at the till? (I don't live in the US but that seemed to be what happened on my visits there)
