AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Halting Of Trafficking and Exploitation in Lodging Act of 2022" or the "HOTEL Act of 2022," amends federal law to establish a priority for government employees to stay at hotels and motels that have policies and procedures in place to address human trafficking. The key provisions require these "preferred places of accommodation" to have a zero-tolerance policy on human trafficking, train their staff to identify and report potential exploitation, post informational materials, and ensure no retaliation against employees who report suspected cases. The General Services Administration is tasked with overseeing the implementation and compliance of these requirements. The bill aims to leverage the government's purchasing power to encourage the lodging industry to take more proactive measures against human trafficking.
