Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
No Hidden FEES Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: The bill impacts travelers, hotels, and short-term rental providers. It aims to make pricing clearer for consumers while requiring businesses to update their advertising practices.
Why this matters: HR6543 addresses consumer frustration with hidden fees in hotel and rental bookings. By requiring upfront disclosure of all mandatory fees, it aims to make pricing more transparent and comparable. This change could lead to increased competition among providers, as consumers can more easily compare total costs. However, it may also impose new compliance costs on smaller businesses and preempt stricter state laws.
