Governor Joe Lombardo has opposed SB 360, known as the Hotel Safety Act, which seeks to require daily hotel room cleanings. Lombardo called the bill redundant and indicated he would veto it, describing it as "no different than the law that was repealed last session on a bipartisan basis," according to News 3LV.
Republican State Sen. Lori Rogich's bill, which proposes reinstating COVID-era room cleaning requirements, has faced opposition from Governor Joe Lombardo. Lombardo stated on X that he sees no "good public policy reason to reinstate COVID-era room cleaning requirements." Lombardo's stance follows his previous veto criteria focused on school choice opportunities, having vetoed 75 bills in the 2023 legislative session. Rogich, citing concerns about the illicit cannabis market as a reason for the bill, did not provide further comment following Lombardo's response, as reported by The Nevada Independent.
Governor Lombardo opposes SB360, a bill requiring daily room cleanings in large Nevada resort hotels. "Culinary Union fully supports the health and safety of guest room attendants in Nevada and applauds Senator Rogich for introducing SB360 in the Nevada Legislature," stated Ted Pappageorge, the union's secretary-treasurer. The bill is not on current legislative agendas, with the session ending on June 2, as mentioned by News 3LV. The Nevada Resort Association is preparing to oppose the bill, while the Culinary Union previously secured daily room cleaning requirements in contracts with over 50 resort operators, effective until 2028.
