Bill > SB2363

This bill requires third-party booking sites, which are websites or mobile applications that allow consumers to compare prices and book rooms at multiple hotels, to clearly disclose when additional fees are required to access certain hotel services beyond the cost of the room itself. These "ancillary hotel services" can include things like parking, breakfast, spa treatments, or early check-in. The bill mandates that these booking sites must inform consumers that extra charges apply and specify which services incur these additional fees. Furthermore, if the advertised room price is higher because it includes access to some or all of these services, the booking site must still disclose that there *may* be additional fees and identify which services are affected. Violating these disclosure requirements will be considered a violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977, meaning businesses could face penalties and remedies outlined in that act, unless the third-party booking site can prove the hotel itself did not provide the necessary fee information. This new requirement will take effect on July 1, 2026.
