Overview
This bill amends California’s Unfair Competition Law to require hotels to post a notice when they are aware a reservation is being made by a federal agency like Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The notice will inform hotel workers and guests of the potential presence of these agencies on the property. This aims to provide transparency and potentially assist federal agents with their duties.
Key provisions
- Hotels must post a notice when aware of a reservation with US Customs and Border Protection or US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- The notice must be prominently displayed and remain visible during the reservation period.
- The hotel operator must ensure the notice is accessible to all workers and guests.
- Hotels are not liable for any incidents that occur as a result of complying with this notice requirement.
- The bill defines ‘hotel’ and ‘operator’ for clarity.
- A violation of this section is considered unfair competition under the Unfair Competition Law.
