Consumer Protection - As enacted, requires a third-party booking site that includes information about ancillary hotel services available at a hotel to disclose that there are additional fees required to access the services and which services require payment of additional fees by the consumer if access to the services requires payment of such fees; establishes violations of the requirement as violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Title 47, Chapter 18.
HB 2180 requires third-party booking sites (like Expedia or Kayak) to clearly disclose extra fees for hotel add-ons - such as parking, breakfast, spa services, or late checkouts - before a consumer books. It directly affects these websites, not hotels’ own sites, by mandating upfront disclosure of which services require additional payment beyond the room rate. Violations would be treated as violations of Tennessee’s Consumer Protection Act, subjecting sites to penalties. The law applies to all such sites aggregating hotel options in Tennessee and takes effect July 1, 2026.
