HB 955 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

NC Junk Fee Prevention Act.

HB 955, the NC Junk Fee Prevention Act, requires businesses like short-term lodging providers (e.g., Airbnb), telecom companies (internet, mobile, voice services), and ticket sellers to show the full price - including all mandatory fees - before a purchase. It bans deceptive or excessive fees, such as surprise resort charges or hidden ticket costs, and mandates that total prices displayed at the start of a transaction cannot increase during checkout. Businesses must clearly disclose all fees (e.g., processing or delivery charges) upfront and cannot charge unreasonable early termination fees for telecom services. This law directly affects consumers buying lodging, telecom services, or event tickets by ensuring transparent pricing and preventing hidden costs.

MODERATE
The bill underwent significant formatting and structural changes between the filed version and Edition 1, primarily involving the reorganization of text layout and the addition of a reference to the General Assembly website for sponsor information. The substantive policy content regarding junk fee prevention, fee definitions, and enforcement mechanisms remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL

Header formatting was updated to include session year and bill number in a different layout, and the document identifier changed from DRH40507-MU-47 to H955-v-1.

The sponsor information section was altered to direct readers to the North Carolina General Assembly website for a complete list of sponsors, replacing a blank 'Referred to' field.

Line numbering and text alignment were reorganized throughout the document, shifting from a continuous numbered format to a section-based layout with new line numbers starting at 1.

A specific referral date (April 14, 2025) was added to the 'Referred to' section, indicating when the bill was assigned to the House Rules, Calendar, and Operations committee.
