Minnesota's HF 3438 law is all about clarity—just like California's SB 478. It requires that lodging prices include all mandatory fees (except government taxes and fees) in the advertised rates, ensuring consumers see the real cost upfront.

What does that mean?

Here’s the good news: we were ahead of the game! When California rolled out its pricing changes in June 2024, we updated everything for you.

As your trusted digital marketing partner, we knew California was just the beginning and made sure you were prepared for this trend. You’re set up for success!

However, please ensure that non-governmental fees are correctly set up where you manage your rates, clearly indicating which taxes are governmental and which fees are non-governmental. This will guarantee we, at Cendyn, receive the correct information to comply with the new laws.

This information reflects Cendyn's current interpretation of applicable laws and should not be solely relied upon by customers or partners. We recommend that you acquaint yourself with these new laws and consult legal counsel for further guidance.
