(b) An owner or lessee which uses a hosting platform that facilitates the rental of a residential unit in the county or a room or space within such a residential unit for the purposes of transient lodging to submit a quarterly report to an agency of the county of any information required by subsection 2 regarding the rental that is not collected by the hosting platform.  2.
