Latest action on S. 3367: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who book short-term stays, buy event tickets, use internet or phone service, or fly. It also affects the businesses that sell those services because they would need to change how they show prices, handle refunds, bill customers, and report fees. Federal agencies and state attorneys general would get clearer roles in policing these fee rules.

Why this matters: Many people do not see the full price until late in checkout, and this bill would push more required fees into the first price they see. That could make it easier to compare rentals, tickets, communications plans, and flights. The bill may reduce some fees, especially early termination fees for covered communications services. Its effect on total prices is uncertain because businesses could change base prices or fee structures.

Key provisions in S. 3367

• Covered businesses would have to show one total price up front. That price must include required fees and related government charges in every ad and the first time a customer sees a price.
• Covered businesses could not charge or advertise required fees that are excessive or misleading. The Federal Trade Commission and courts would look at whether the fee is reasonable and matches the cost or value of the good or service.
• Ticket sellers would face extra rules. Before sales start, they must say how many tickets are available, explain refunds clearly, and include all required fees when a refund is owed.
• Ticket sellers must warn buyers when they do not yet have the ticket they are selling. If they cannot deliver the ticket on time, they must give a full refund.
• The Federal Trade Commission could write rules on required or misleading fees. Those rules could go beyond the specific examples named in the bill.
