MODERATE

The bill was reorganized to clarify its structure and update the effective date from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027. The most significant substantive change is the addition of exemptions for certain platforms, such as those operating under shared hotel brands or those with direct affiliation contracts, which were previously subject to the full disclosure requirements. The bill also explicitly defines key terms like 'online platform' and 'affiliation contract' to ensure consistent application.

Scope change

The scope of the bill was narrowed by adding specific exemptions for platforms that operate under shared hotel brands or have direct affiliation contracts with the accommodation provider, meaning these specific entities are no longer required to provide the mandatory third-party booking disclosures.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added for 'Affiliation contract', 'Exhibition organizer or meeting planner', 'Online platform', 'Physical accommodation', and 'Shared hotel brand' to clarify the bill's terminology.

SCOPE

Exemptions were created for online platforms operating under a shared hotel brand and those with an affiliation contract for the specific accommodation being booked, removing the disclosure requirement for these entities.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.

TECHNICAL

The bill's structure was reorganized to separate definitions into a dedicated section and to add a new section prohibiting the placement of required disclosures solely in general terms and conditions.
