House Bill No. by Representative Hilferty aims to enact a new provision under R.S. 47:338.221(E) concerning the city of New Orleans, specifically addressing the occupancy tax on short-term rentals. The bill mandates that if a party rents a short-term rental through an online platform, the platform must provide a detailed line-by-line itemization of all assessments, fees, and taxes owed by the renter. This information is required to be made available both on the platform's website and on the final bill presented to the renter.

The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on January 1, 2026. This legislation seeks to enhance transparency for renters by ensuring they are fully informed of the costs associated with their short-term rental, thereby promoting accountability among online rental platforms operating in New Orleans.
