Bill > A02144

This bill amends the public health law in New York to require hotels and motels to notify their employees of the presence of bedbugs on the premises and to develop and administer annual training on methods and procedures for the eradication of bedbugs. The bill defines "hotels and motels" to include various types of lodging establishments, and "employees" to include any person employed by the hotel who may be exposed to bedbugs as part of their daily routine, including sub-contractors and independent contractors working 20 or more hours per week. The bill also empowers local health departments and the state health commissioner to enforce these new requirements.
