House Bill 90, sponsored by Rep. Troy Hebert (R-Lafayette), would prohibit third-party platforms from listing or selling restaurant reservations unless they have a written agreement with the food service establishment.
Hebert told lawmakers during the April 15 House Commerce Committee meeting that the bill was created after complaints from restaurants about AI-powered bots and booking services getting high-demand reservations and reselling them for a high price.
Under the bill, the Louisiana Attorney General would have the authority to fine violators up to $1,000 per violation, per day. All fines collected would go into the state’s consumer protection fund.
The bill now heads to the Louisiana Senate. If passed, the law would add a new section titled the “Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy” provision to the state’s consumer protection statutes.
