SB 169 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits a third-party reservation service platform provider from engaging in certain activities. (BDR 52-627)

SB 169 requires third-party reservation platforms (like booking apps for restaurants or salons) to obtain a written agreement with an establishment before listing, advertising, or selling reservations through their service. Violations would be treated as deceptive trade practices, subjecting platforms to civil penalties (up to $10,000 per violation) but not criminal charges. The law explicitly exempts document preparation services from these requirements. It directly affects online booking platforms and the businesses they connect with, aiming to ensure platforms have explicit authorization for reservation activities.

MINOR

The bill was finalized as 'As Enrolled' legislation, converting it from a draft reprint to an official enacted law. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new requirement for third-party reservation platforms: they must now honor an establishment's request to opt out of future bookings. This addition clarifies the definition of a 'third-party reservation service platform' to explicitly include this opt-out obligation, ensuring businesses can control their future reservations.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's definition for 'third-party reservation service platform' was expanded to include a specific condition regarding customer opt-out rights, thereby tightening the rules for which platforms are subject to the new restrictions.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new clause (subsection (b)(2)(III)) requiring third-party platforms to honor an establishment's request to opt out of future reservations, appointments, or bookings.

DEFINITION

Incorporated the new opt-out requirement into the legal definition of a 'third-party reservation service platform' to ensure compliance with the updated rules.

TECHNICAL

Converted the document from a 'Second Reprint' draft version to the final 'As Enrolled' version, adding official chapter headers, session numbers, and the formal enactment preamble.
