Junk Fee Prevention Act

The Junk Fee Prevention Act requires businesses to clearly display the total price of goods and services including all mandatory fees before a purchase, preventing hidden costs for consumers. It prohibits excessive or deceptive fees for short-term lodging, ticketing services, and communications providers, and bans fees for seating young children (13 or younger) adjacent to an adult on flights. The bill mandates clear refund policies and requires businesses to provide full refunds if they can't deliver advertised tickets or seat assignments. Covered entities include ticket sellers, lodging providers, and communications companies, with enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general.
