ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY,
No. 5804

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: DECEMBER
6, 2021

The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development
Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. A5804.

This bill modifies certain definitions that are
applicable to the State’s transient accommodation taxes and fees.
Specifically, the bill alters the definitions of “obtained through a transient
marketplace” and “transient space marketplace.”

Under current law, “obtained through a transient space
marketplace” means that payment for the accommodation is made through a means
provided by the marketplace or travel agency, either directly or indirectly,
regardless of which person or entity receives the payment, and where the
contracting for the accommodation is made through the marketplace or travel
agency. The bill changes this definition to specify that the accommodation is
accepted through a means provided by the marketplace or travel agency,
regardless of whether payment for the accommodation is made through a means
provide by the marketplace or travel agency.

Further, the bill modifies the definition of
“transient space marketplace.” Under current law, a transient space
marketplace means a marketplace or travel agency through which a person may
offer transient accommodations to customers and through which customers may
arrange for occupancies of transient accommodations. The bill changes the
definition to specify that a marketplace or travel agency provides the service
in exchange for a fee.

As reported by the committee, this bill is identical
to Senate Bill No. 3715, which was also reported by the committee on this date.
