Bill > S2498

This bill, the Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2024, prohibits unfair and deceptive advertising of prices for hotel rooms and other short-term lodging. It requires covered entities, such as hotels, short-term rentals, and online intermediaries, to clearly and prominently display the total services price, including any mandatory fees, when advertising or offering covered services for sale. The bill also grants the Federal Trade Commission the authority to enforce these requirements and allows state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of their residents. The bill preempts state laws that prohibit the display of the total services price, but preserves laws related to contracts, torts, fraud, and unauthorized access to personal information.
