NO USE OF AI FOR RENT MANIPULATION
HB 215 prohibits landlords and property owners from using artificial intelligence tools to coordinate rent pricing across multiple properties. It bans services that analyze rental data (like historical prices or lease terms) from multiple landlords to recommend similar rent increases or manipulate market competition. The bill also allows tenants harmed by such coordinated pricing to sue in court. This directly affects rental property owners using AI-driven pricing tools and tenants facing artificially inflated rents due to anti-competitive practices.

MINOR
The Judiciary Committee substitute adds exemptions to the bill, clarifying that government entities with rent control programs and certain data analytics services are not considered 'coordinators' under the law. This change narrows the bill's scope by protecting specific types of entities from the new restrictions on AI-based rent pricing tools.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by adding explicit exemptions for government entities implementing rent control programs and for data analytics services that provide aggregated rental data or conduct research without recommending specific pricing.
DEFINITION
Added a new subsection to the definition of 'coordinator' that explicitly excludes government entities setting rent limits and certain data analytics services that provide aggregated data or conduct research.
ELIGIBILITY
Modified the applicability of the law to exclude government entities operating rental price restriction programs from being classified as coordinators under the new restrictions.
