The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 966, aims to amend current statutes to mandate that hotels and short-term rental operators disclose the total cost of occupancy to consumers before a purchase is made. This total cost must include all fees associated with the occupancy, ensuring that consumers have a clear understanding of the final price they will be paying.

The bill introduces new legal language requiring this disclosure, while there are no deletions from existing law noted in the text. The intent of the legislation is to promote transparency in pricing for consumers, allowing them to make informed decisions when booking accommodations.
