Bill overview
The HOTEL Act prohibits federal agencies from using taxpayer money to pay for lodging at establishments owned or operated by public officials or their relatives. This aims to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest and ensure government funds are used responsibly. The bill establishes clear definitions of key terms like ‘covered establishment’ and ‘covered individual,’ and includes exceptions for certain situations, such as protective services and humanitarian assistance. Agencies must report on any expenditures that would otherwise be prohibited and develop specific regulations to implement the law.
