Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people hiring movers, moving companies, brokers, freight forwarders, and state transportation officials.

Why this matters: Moving customers can face surprise charges, lost items, or fraud, and this bill gives officials clearer tools to act.

The real effect would depend on how much states and federal officials choose to enforce the rules.
