New York A06562 mandates third-party accommodation reservation services to identify themselves and limit cancellation fees.

New York A06562 amends the general business law to require third-party accommodation reservation services to clearly identify themselves to users. These services, which are owned and operated by entities other than the accommodation providers, must inform users that they are not the actual place of public accommodation. Additionally, the bill restricts these services from charging more than 10% of the first night's cost for cancellations made within 48 hours of the intended stay. If the hotel waives the cancellation fee, the third-party service cannot charge any fee.
