SB1144

Hawaii SB1144 mandates full fee transparency for transient accommodations.

Hawaii SB1144 amends Chapter 481B of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to require transient accommodations brokers and other entities to display rental rates that include all resort fees and applicable taxes and fees before a consumer reserves accommodations. The bill aims to ensure consumers have full transparency from the start of their booking journey, preventing misleading pricing practices. Violations of this requirement are subject to civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation. The act does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that began before its effective date.
