Requires upfront pricing for hotels and event tickets, bans certain harmful products, and boosts healthcare access.
This bill would make it easier for everyday Americans to see the full price of hotel rooms and event tickets from the start. It also bans products with high levels of sodium nitrite to protect youth, requires clear labels on smart devices with cameras or microphones, and creates new criminal prohibitions for nonconsensual intimate visual depictions. Additionally, it extends important Medicare services like telehealth and aims to increase transparency in prescription drug pricing by pharmacy benefit managers.
Today, consumers often face surprise fees when booking hotels or buying event tickets, and some smart devices don't clearly state if they have cameras or microphones. There are also gaps in protections against the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images and in Medicaid access. After this bill, hotel and ticket prices would be shown upfront, smart devices would be clearly labeled, and new criminal prohibitions and removal processes would be in place for nonconsensual intimate visual depictions. Medicaid would also see streamlined provider enrollment and adjusted home and community-based services, while drug pricing practices would become more transparent, aiming for lower costs for consumers and health plans.
