What this bill would do

The bill is known as the Timeshare Transparency Act. It sets up new rules for how timeshares are sold to make the process more transparent for everyday people. Under this bill, timeshare companies must include all costs, fee change rules, and ways to end ownership in a single document. Buyers must also be given a 14-day window to cancel the agreement without any penalty. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce these new rules. Finally, states are allowed to keep or create even stronger consumer protections if they choose.
