Junk Fee Prevention Act

The Junk Fee Prevention Act requires businesses to clearly disclose all fees upfront in advertisements and during purchases, including mandatory fees like baggage charges or seat selection. It prohibits excessive or deceptive fees and mandates transparent refund policies, particularly for tickets to events. The law applies to short-term lodging providers, ticket sellers, and communication services like broadband internet and phone services. Businesses must show the total price including all fees before consumers commit to a purchase, and air carriers must report revenue from ancillary fees like baggage and seat selection.
