President Biden has proposed legislation to Congress to crack down on hidden fees, such as those attached to airline and concert tickets, vacation packages, and television and telephone bills. The proposal would cap credit card late fees at $8, ban airlines from charging additional fees for family members to sit alongside their young children, and require hotels and other businesses to disclose their fees upfront. It would also make it easier for consumers to compare prices and find the best deals by eliminating excessive fees for tickets to concerts and sporting events.
