## Summary

**Clear upfront disclosures and a 14-day penalty-free cancellation right for timeshare buyers.** This bill would require a single, itemized contract that lists purchase costs, ongoing fees, fee-change rules, and exit options, and it would give buyers a free, unsupervised review period before signing. - Consumers: Would get one document showing all costs and options, a chance to review papers away from sales staff, and a 14-day right to cancel without penalty. - Timeshare companies: Would have to state which fees can change, explain how and when notice happens, and list ways owners can end ownership. - Federal Trade Commission: Would enforce violations as unfair or deceptive acts under the FTC Act and write rules under the Administrative Procedure Act to implement the law. - Scope: Covers timeshares that grant use for less than a full year each year and last more than 3 years, and it excludes exchange programs. It would apply to agreements made 90 days after enactment.
