Junk Fee Prevention Act

The Junk Fee Prevention Act (S 3367) requires businesses selling tickets for events (like sports or concerts) and communications services (like internet or cell phone plans) to clearly show all fees upfront to consumers. It prohibits hidden or deceptive fees, mandates refunds for unfulfilled tickets, and bans excessive early termination charges for service plans. Businesses must display the total price including all mandatory fees before purchase, ensure fees don’t change unexpectedly, and disclose refund policies transparently. This directly affects consumers purchasing event tickets, internet/cell services, or airline ancillary services by making fee structures clearer and preventing surprise charges.
