Bill overview
The Junk Fee Prevention Act aims to protect consumers from hidden and excessive fees charged by various businesses. It requires companies providing short-term lodging, ticketing services, internet, and video programming to clearly display the total price of goods and services, including mandatory fees. The bill also mandates that ticketing services disclose guarantee policies and ensure they possess tickets before sale, prohibits excessive termination fees for internet and mobile services, and requires the FCC to establish rules regarding these fees. Finally, the bill mandates that air carriers seat young children next to an accompanying adult, with limited exceptions, and provides for refunds if seating isn’t available.
