	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Monning

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2016

   An act to amend Section 22594 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to business.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1092, as introduced, Monning. Advertising: Internet private
residence rental listings: notice.
   Existing law requires a hosting platform, as defined, to provide a
specific notice to an occupant listing a residence for short-term
rental on a hosting platform that states, among other things, that,
if the occupant is a tenant, listing the room, home, condominium, or
apartment may violate the lease or contract and could result in legal
action by the landlord, including possible eviction. Existing law
requires the notice to be in a particular font size and be provided
immediately before the occupant lists each real property on the
hosting platform's Internet Web site in a manner that requires the
occupant to interact with the hosting platform's Internet Web site to
affirmatively acknowledge he or she has read the notice.
   This bill would additionally require the typeface of that notice
to be clear, legible, and one of the typefaces used elsewhere on the
hosting platform's Internet Web site.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

be clear, legible, and one of the typefaces used e  
lsewhere on the hosting platform's Internet Web site. 
   (b) The notice shall be provided immediately before the occupant
lists each real property on the hosting platform's Internet Web site,
and shall require the occupant to interact with the hosting platform'

the notice. This affirmative  acknowledgement
