The New York City Council has passed a contentious hotel licensing bill, known as the Safe Hotels Act, on October 23 after a three-month debate. The bill, which requires hotels to obtain licenses and provide panic buttons for staff, aims to enhance safety and accountability in the industry. It also bars hotels from operating without licenses. The Hotel Trades Council, a powerful union, demonstrated its influence in the passage of the bill. Julie Menin, who is campaigning for the speaker position, has been a notable supporter. The Hotel Association of NYC has applauded the bill's passage, highlighting its potential to improve working conditions and safety for hotel staff.
