Bill overview
The HILTON Act aims to prevent federal agencies from contracting with businesses that have discriminated against federal law enforcement officers. Specifically, it prohibits agencies from using companies that refused services to officers due to their official duties. However, the bill includes a waiver provision allowing agencies to proceed with a contract if no other comparable service is available within 50 miles or if the discriminating entity’s parent company takes corrective action. The bill also clarifies that entities under common control are treated as a single entity for the purposes of this legislation, expanding the scope of prohibited discrimination.
