Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require companies to disclose all fees upfront before customers complete a purchase, preventing surprise charges that appear only at checkout. It would apply to airlines, hotels, ticketing services, and other businesses that commonly add hidden fees, giving consumers a clearer picture of the true cost before they buy. The bill aims to make it easier for shoppers to compare prices fairly across different companies.
