ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY,
No. 2237

with
committee amendments

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: DECEMBER
11, 2023

The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development
Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 2237, with committee amendments.

This bill, as amended, 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, as amended, changes this definition to specify that the rental of the
accommodation is arranged through a means provided by the marketplace or travel
agency, regardless of whether payment for the accommodation is made through a
means provided 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 amended and reported by the committee, Assembly
Bill No. 2237 is identical to Senate Bill No. 505 (1R), which was also reported
by the committee on this date.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:

The committee amendments modify the definition of “obtained
through a transient space marketplace” to mean that the rental of the
accommodation is arranged through a means provided by the marketplace or travel
agency, regardless of whether payment for the accommodation is made through a
means provided by the marketplace or travel agency.
