THE AMERICAN HOTEL & Lodging Association launched the “Hospitality Law Database,” giving hoteliers quick access to state and local laws affecting hotel operations. The online platform aids hotel owners, managers, HR professionals and lawyers in navigating the changing legal landscape of the hotel industry.

The tool tracks laws across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the top 25 U.S. hotel markets, AHLA said in a statement.


“AHLA is laser focused on advocacy in support of legislation to protect and promote the hotel industry,” said Kevin Carey, AHLA’s interim president and CEO. “AHLA’s new Hospitality Law Database is a natural extension of our robust advocacy efforts, giving members easy access to the laws governing operations in the states and key markets where they operate.”

“The database will be a vital tool as we continue to push for policies to keep our industry – and the millions of people it employs – moving forward,” he said.

AHLA's new database allows users to filter hotel-related laws by topic and jurisdiction, the statement said. AHLA members and others can access the database.

Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, and the Global Finance Committee recently launched the 12th edition of the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry, featuring updates such as financial and operating changes, a sustainability section, and coverage for all-inclusive hotels.
