Housing: public accommodations; excessively increased pricing in hotel and lodging industry during a declared state of emergency; prohibit. Creates new act.

This bill creates the Hotel and Lodging Pricing Protection Act to prevent businesses from raising room rates by more than 10% during a declared state of emergency unless they can prove the increase is due to higher costs or regular scheduled adjustments. It applies to hotels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds, and similar accommodations located in areas affected by emergencies such as natural disasters, fires, or public health threats. The law gives state and local prosecutors the authority to investigate violations through written demands for documents and testimony, with penalties for non-compliance.
