Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
Section 1 of the proposed legislation would add a new section to chapter 19.48 RCW, requiring that all fees or charges
required to stay at a hotel must be disclosed in the advertised, displayed or offered room rate, except for taxes and fees
imposed by a government and assessment fees of a government-created special district or program. Taxes and fees
imposed by a government and assessment fees of a government-created special district or program must be included in
the total price to be paid before a consumer reserves a stay at a hotel.
City attorneys, county prosecuting attorneys or the attorney general could bring actions to enforce these requirements.
Section 2 would add a new section to chapter 64.37 RCW, requiring that all fees or charges required to stay at a
short-term rental must be disclosed in the advertised, displayed or offered room rate, except for taxes and fees imposed
by a government and assessment fees of a government-created special district or program. Taxes and fees imposed by a
government and assessment fees of a government-created special district or program must be included in the total price to
be paid before a consumer reserves a stay at a short-term rental.
City attorneys, county prosecuting attorneys or the attorney general could bring actions to enforce these requirements.
Section 3 specifies that the proposed legislation would take effect July 1, 2025.
B. SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE IMPACTS
Expenditure impacts of the legislation on local governments with the expenditure provisions identified by section number and when
appropriate, the detail of expenditures. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.
The proposed legislation would create a new local option for city attorneys and county prosecutors to bring actions to
enforce the new hotel and short-term rental fee disclosure requirements the bill would create, and accordingly would have
no direct impact on local government expenditures.
City attorneys and county prosecutors that chose to exercise this new local option and pursue actions to enforce hotel and
short-term rental fee disclosure requirements would incur additional expenditures for the staff time required for these
proceedings. It is unknown, however, how many future enforcement actions city attorneys and county prosecutors may
choose to pursue. Additionally, the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys indicates that it is also unknown how
much staff time these enforcement actions may require. Accordingly, the expenditure impact on jurisdictions that choose
to exercise the new local option to pursue enforcement actions is indeterminate.
C. SUMMARY OF REVENUE IMPACTS
Revenue impacts of the legislation on local governments, with the revenue provisions identified by section number, and when
appropriate, the detail of revenue sources. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.
The proposed legislation would have no impact on local government revenues.
