## Summary

**Strengthens enforcement and registration rules for household goods carriers** by giving federal and state officials new penalty tools and requiring clearer business addresses and relationship disclosures. - Consumers and households: States would be able to enforce federal household goods rules for interstate moves and enforce intrastate moves when state laws match federal regulations. This creates a clearer path for consumer protection in relocations. - State governments: States could use grant funds for commercial enforcement and consumer protection related to household goods. States would also retain any fines or penalties they collect from enforcement actions. - Movers, brokers, and freight forwarders: Registrations would have to list a single principal place of business and disclose any ownership, management, control, or familial relationships from the prior 3 years. The Secretary could withhold, suspend, amend, or revoke registrations for invalid or missing designations.
