Bill > SB169

This bill addresses third-party reservation service platforms (websites or apps that help customers book services or appointments at establishments) by establishing new rules for their operations. Specifically, the bill prohibits these platforms from listing, advertising, promoting, or selling reservations for an establishment unless they first obtain a written agreement directly with the establishment or its designated representative. Any violation of this requirement is considered a deceptive trade practice, subject to civil enforcement measures, but not criminal penalties. The bill provides detailed definitions for key terms like "establishment" (a business offering goods or services that relies on scheduled reservations) and "third-party reservation service platform" (an online service that arranges bookings owned by someone other than the establishment). The law includes some exceptions, such as for document preparation services and certain no-charge reservation arrangements that directly share customer contact information with the establishment. The bill aims to ensure that reservation platforms have explicit permission from businesses before listing or selling their booking services, potentially protecting establishments from unauthorized or misrepresentative online booking practices.
