    How might requiring physical business locations and ownership disclosure change the cost and availability of moving services for consumers in rural or remote areas?

  2. 02

    What enforcement challenges do states face in monitoring household goods carriers, and how would federal grants address those specific gaps?

  3. 03

    Should states retain collected fines to fund enforcement, or should those revenues support a federal oversight program instead?
