This bill amends existing laws regarding hotel and motel operations by introducing new provisions and repealing certain requirements. Specifically, it allows hotels and motels to deny rental agreements to guests under the age of 21, as stated in the newly inserted section 354-A:17-a. Additionally, the bill repeals the requirement for hotel keepers to post rental rates in hotel rooms (RSA 353:3-a) and eliminates the obligation for motel operators to display signs with rental rates (RSA 353:5).

Furthermore, the bill modifies the registration process for guests by removing the requirement for hotel keepers to make an entry in a book or card system regarding the guest's departure time and date. Instead, it mandates that the agreed-upon departure time and date be recorded at registration, ensuring that guests cannot remain in a rental unit beyond this time without the consent of the hotel keeper. The bill is set to take effect upon its passage.
