B 25-0985 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

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

This temporary bill authorizes the Mayor of the District of Columbia to create new rules requiring hotels and motels to maintain higher cleaning and maintenance standards for their guest rooms. It specifically allows for daily cleaning of rooms without kitchens, while exempting rooms with full kitchens from daily cleaning unless a guest specifically requests it. The legislation also mandates that lodging establishments provide public notice of any actual or potential disruptions to their services. These new requirements will be enforced through civil fines, and the law is set to expire 225 days after it takes effect.
