Unpacking human trafficking: A survey of state laws targeting human trafficking in the hospitality industry
Abstract
In addition to state laws, there are various agency and municipal regulations, which are
beyond the scope of this project. Interested parties should contact their local lodging and
hotel association, chamber of commerce or governmental agencies familiar with regulations in
local jurisdictions.
To help clarify the situation and facilitate legal compliance, ECPAT-USA, with the support of
the American Hotel and Lodging Association Educational Foundation, unpacked these laws
by preparing a survey of all the applicable state laws currently in effect. We will unpack the
laws again by updating the survey on a semi-annual basis to keep up with the constantly
changing laws.
