The bill would require providers of short-term lodging and websites that advertise or offer such lodging to display each mandatory fee required to complete a booking. The FTC would enforce those requirements.
Based on the cost of similar provisions, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6543 would cost the FTC $4 million to issue guidance and to monitor and enforce violations. In addition, CBO estimates that enacting the bill could increase civil penalty collections, which are recorded in the federal budget as revenues, by an insignificant amount.
