Consumer Affordability and Pricing Concessions Act

This bill sets rules for stadiums that receive public funding, such as federal grants, subsidies, tax breaks, or tax-exempt bonds, and have at least 10,000 seats. Stadiums at colleges and universities are not covered. Covered stadiums would have to keep food prices sold under concession leases no more than 7 percent above the price of similar items in the nearest metropolitan area. They would also have to encourage concession contracts to offer locations to small businesses, and could not charge small businesses a fee for the right to sell food to patrons, though cost reimbursements and leases are still allowed. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce these rules as unfair or deceptive practices.
