Bill > SB19

This bill modifies New Hampshire's laws regarding hotel and motel operations by making two primary changes. First, it amends the existing statute about guest registration by removing the requirement for hotel keepers to make a specific entry in a book or card system and instead focusing on recording the guest's agreed upon departure time and date. Second, the bill repeals two existing requirements: the mandate for hotel keepers to post rental rates in rooms and the requirement for motel operators to display signs showing their rental unit rates. These changes essentially reduce administrative burdens on hotels and motels by eliminating certain posting and record-keeping obligations while still maintaining a basic requirement that guests do not stay beyond their registered departure time without the establishment's consent. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, providing an immediate update to the state's trade and commerce regulations related to lodging establishments.
