The Junk Fee Prevention Act aims to limit and eliminate excessive, hidden, and unnecessary fees imposed on consumers.
The Junk Fee Prevention Act seeks to protect consumers from excessive and hidden fees by requiring transparency in pricing and fees. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is mandated to initiate a rulemaking proceeding within 180 days to consider requiring the disclosure of mandatory fees for covered services. The Act defines "covered service" to include broadband internet access, voice service, commercial mobile service, and commercial mobile data service. It also prohibits providers from imposing excessive or deceptive fees and mandates that any mandatory fees be clearly disclosed.
