Hotel Enhanced Cleaning and Notice of Service Disruption Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024
This resolution declares an emergency to allow the Mayor of Washington, D.C., to create new rules for cleaning and maintenance in hotels and motels, while also setting standards for how these businesses must notify guests about service disruptions. The bill specifically targets standard lodging establishments but excludes those operating on an "extended stay" model. It aims to ensure that hotels continue to provide routine and enhanced housekeeping services to meet current travel demands and maintain safety standards. By expediting the legislative process, the Council seeks to prevent a legal gap that could occur when a previous temporary law expires on October 12, 2024.
