    It's the local version of the Junk Fee Law they are trying to pass

    Shown Here:
    Introduced in Senate (03/22/2023)

    Junk Fee Prevention Act

    This bill establishes requirements related to the fees charged by specified covered businesses, including those providing short-term lodging, ticketing services, internet service, mobile service, or video programming. It also requires air carriers to seat each young child next to an accompany adult during flights.

    Specifically, businesses providing short-term lodging or ticketing services must display the total price (including mandatory fees) of the offered good or service in each advertisement and when the price is first shown to the consumer. Further, ticketing services must (1) disclose any guarantee or refund policy for an event before the transaction is completed, and (2) disclose when they do not possess the ticket for an event at the time of sale. The bill also prohibits excessive or deceptive mandatory fees and provides the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general authority to enforce these requirements.

    Additionally, the bill prohibits internet service, mobile service, or video programming providers from charging excessive or unreasonable termination fees. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) also must conduct a rulemaking to consider requiring such providers to disclose mandatory fees or prohibiting the services from imposing mandatory fees. The bill provides the FCC authority to enforce these requirements.

    Finally, the bill establishes requirements for air carriers to seat each child who is age 13 or younger next to an accompanying adult, subject to limited exceptions. The bill also requires air carriers to provide specified alternatives or a full refund in the event that such seating is not available.

    Hey, thanks for the cutsie poem, Cheeto. Here's one for you ...

    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
    the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
    and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
    but there is no joy with Fucko. He's a grifter and a lout.

    Good luck with that chief

    In a legal memo obtained by NewsNation, Trump’s legal team claims “tortious conduct by the United States” saying the federal effort was “political persecution” and “unconstitutional.”

    “As the complaint powerfully details, the raid on Mar-a-Lago was illegal and unconstitutional, as are all of the Democrat witch hunts that are now falling apart like the rotten house of cards that they are,” Steven Cheung, Trump spokesman, said in a statement.
