What’s happening: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is proposing a rule on so-called “junk fees” that is so encompassing it would ban widely accepted restaurant fees, such as delivery and large-party service fees.
In response: The Association submitted comments in opposition to this proposed rule in February. And the FTC ban was 1 of 3 Issues for Action at the 2024 Public Affairs Conference in April. Attendees urged policymakers to raise concerns about the proposed rule with the FTC, including by signing an Association-backed letter. What you can do: The Association continues to work to build support for this letter, which is being led by Rep. Womack (AR-03) in the House and Sen. Braun (R-IN) in the Senate. Please encourage your elected officials to consider signing the letter. For an email template, contact Aaron Frazier ([email protected]).
