AN ACT REQUIRING HOTELS AND SHORT-TERM RENTAL OPERATORS TO DISCLOSE THE TOTAL COST OF OCCUPANCY TO CONSUMERS PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

SB 966 requires hotels and short-term rental operators (like those on Airbnb) to disclose the total cost of a stay - including all taxes, fees, and extras - before a customer books. This applies to all bookings made through these businesses, ensuring guests see the full price upfront. The bill mandates that operators display the complete amount, not just the base rate, to prevent unexpected charges at checkout. It directly affects businesses in the hospitality and rental sectors and aims to improve price transparency for consumers.
