This legislation wouldn't stop that, nor resort fees, because they're not required.
It would however effect Airbnb, one of the worst offenders, because their fees are mandatory and not shown until checkout.
It's funny the government has exempted its own taxes and fees (the largest last minute fees we all pay everyday) from this requirement.
- kyrra 4y agoWhile i agree with you on the taxes front, one hard thing is that not everyone pays it. Depending on what's being sold and who the buyer is, the buyer may have tax exempt status, which may not be known until checkout.
