This is the latest DCWP-involved crackdown on junk fees.

Today Zohran announced a new rule banning hidden junk fees at hotels.
The rule applies to NYC hotels, but also to hotel stays in other destinations that New Yorkers book in the city.

Mayor Mamdani is banning so-called junk fees at NYC hotels — resort fees, surprise credit card holds, deposits, etc. New rule starts in a month.
The greatest day in the history of this great nation 🦅
The FTC Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees is now in effect. FTC staff has published FAQs to help inform consumers and businesses about the Rule: bit.ly/3S36GOp

The House just passed a bill to ban hidden hotel resort fees so now it is on to the Senate and then the President (the FTC ban will be implemented soon but a law through Congress is always the best) lasvegassun.com/news/2025/ap…

When California banned junk fees Expedia disclosed to investors it hit their revenue. These fees are pervasive.
BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL AND REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WANT TO END HIDDEN HOTEL RESORT FEES. PUT THE BAN ON HIDDEN RESORT FEES BACK IN THE CR @elonmusk

I was starting to think this wouldn’t get done. I’m most excited about ticket fees and those bullshit resort fees at hotels either going away or being shown at the beginning instead of the end. Takes effect in 120 days. ftc.gov/business-guidance/bl…

The #FTC has banned “junk fees” in the US: What does that mean for hotels?

"This mandate, which will go into effect in 120 days, requires that all mandatory fees like resort fees and cleaning charges be disclosed upfront"

The version of the CR that Musk wants eliminates a legislative ban on scam hidden hotel resort fees. The first version of the CR had them. He should be ashamed of himself. No one wants scam hotel fees other than the richest man on earth.

Good news from @FTC, which just banned hidden junk fees for live show tickets, hotels, and vacation rentals. Requiring transparent pricing helps consumers make informed choices and prevents unfair and deceptive business practices.
1. People deserve to know upfront what price they’re being asked to pay, without worrying they’ll later be hit with mystery fees they can’t avoid.
Today @FTC finalized a rule to ban these junk fees for short-term lodging and live-event ticketing.
