Hotel Enhanced Cleaning and Notice of Service Disruption Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This emergency bill authorizes the Mayor of Washington, D.C., to create new rules requiring enhanced cleaning and maintenance standards for most hotels and motels in the city. The legislation specifically exempts rooms with full kitchens from daily cleaning unless a guest requests it, while also mandating that businesses provide public notice of any service disruptions. Violations of these new rules could result in civil fines enforced by the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. The law is designed to take effect immediately and will remain in force for no longer than 90 days.
