Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who buy travel, tickets, lodging, phone, internet, mobile, or TV service. It also affects the businesses that sell those services because they would have to change how they show prices, charge fees, handle refunds, and report fee income. Federal agencies and state attorneys general would get clearer roles in policing these fees.

Why this matters: People often find out the real price only after fees appear late in checkout or on monthly bills. This bill would push businesses to show the real cost sooner and make some fees easier to challenge. It could help people compare prices across services. It could also change how businesses set base prices, discounts, and add-on fees.

Key provisions in H.R. 6430

• Covered businesses must clearly show the full price in ads and when they first show a price. The total must include all required fees and government charges.
• Covered businesses could not charge or advertise required fees that are too high or misleading. The Federal Trade Commission or courts would judge the fee’s size, purpose, and fairness.
• Live-event ticket sellers must say how many tickets they are offering or making available. They must do this at least 72 hours before the first sale.
• Businesses must clearly explain refund policies and guarantees. When a ticket refund is owed, the refund must include required fees.
• A seller that does not yet have the ticket must tell the buyer before the sale. If the seller cannot deliver the ticket on time, it must give a full refund.
