Concerning fee disclosure for lodging accommodations.

HB 1080 requires hotels and short-term rentals to disclose all mandatory fees, except for government taxes and special district assessments, within their advertised room rates. Before a consumer reserves a stay, the total price presented must include all government taxes and assessment fees. These rules apply to advertising displayed in or from Washington state. Businesses found in violation may face civil penalties up to $10,000 per infraction, with enforcement handled by city, county, or state attorneys.

MINOR

This bill was amended to expand fee disclosure requirements for hotels and short-term rentals. The changes specifically add 'assessment fees' collected by government-created special districts or programs to the list of charges that must be included in advertised room rates and total prices before a reservation is made. Previously, only taxes and standard government fees were required to be included.

Scope change

The bill's scope of required fee disclosure was broadened to include assessment fees from special districts or programs, which were previously exempt from the 'all-in' pricing requirement.

REQUIREMENT

Updated fee disclosure rules for hotels and short-term rentals to explicitly include assessment fees of government-created special districts or programs in advertised rates and total prices.
