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.enlawhuman traffickingpolicylodgingtravelersArticle
