HOTEL Act: Combating Human Trafficking in Lodging
This act aims to combat human trafficking by promoting hotels and motels that actively work against this crime. This means hotels will need to implement special policies and employee training to better identify and report human trafficking cases. As a result, government employees on official travel will preferentially choose accommodations that prioritize safety and assist in the fight against this crime.
Key points
Hotels and motels must implement a "zero-tolerance" policy for human trafficking and train staff to identify and report suspicious situations.
Hotel employees, such as front desk, housekeeping, and security staff, will be required to complete mandatory training on identifying human trafficking victims and reporting procedures.
Government agencies will preferentially book lodging in hotels that meet these new requirements, encouraging the industry to actively participate in combating human trafficking.
Hotels will need to self-certify every two years that they comply with these rules and that employees receive regular refresher training.
