The Federal Trade Commission has pitched a rule to forbid so-called junk fees.
A virtual hearing is scheduled at 10 a.m. April 24.
Junk fees are unfair or deceptive charges to consumers for a product or service.
The FTC says a proposed rule would require businesses to disclose all mandatory fees when quoting a price to a consumer.
An upcoming virtual hearing is set to feature short presentations by organizations that would be affected by the proposal.
Rising fees were at the heart of a consumer-fraud lawsuit by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office against Cox Communications.
The cable television and internet provider recently agreed to pay roughly $13 million to settle the case.
Officials say a link to the hearing will be posted on the FTC website.
