This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning online lodging marketplaces. It removes existing restrictions on the disclosure of information provided by these marketplaces, specifically eliminating the requirement for written consent before such information can be disclosed. The current law states that this information is not subject to public records disclosure and cannot be shared with state or local agencies, which will be deleted under the new bill.

Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for taxpayers operating online lodging transactions. It mandates that taxpayers must list specific information on their tax returns, including the transaction privilege tax license number, property address, and the amount of tax collected. The bill also clarifies that taxpayers are not required to identify individual online lodging operators on their returns. Overall, these changes aim to streamline tax reporting for online lodging marketplaces while modifying the confidentiality provisions currently in place.
