A bill for an act relating to pricing disclosure of lodging, ticketing, and food platforms, and providing civil penalties.
HF 2047 (the "Iowa Junk Fee Prevention Act") requires lodging, ticketing, and food delivery platforms to clearly display the total price - including all fees - before a consumer completes a purchase. It prohibits businesses from hiding or increasing fees during checkout, ensuring consumers see the full cost upfront. The law directly affects platforms like hotel booking sites, event ticket sellers, and food delivery apps, protecting Iowa consumers from surprise charges. Key provisions mandate transparent pricing in advertisements and at the point of sale, with enforcement through civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation.
