A new piece of legislation could remove one of the last remaining protocols from the COVID-19 era and give hotel operators the right to stop daily room cleaning.

On Tuesday, state Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop spoke about Senate Bill 441, which would eliminate the requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services or other boards of health to require certain protocols and plans concerning the prevention of and response to COVID-19.

“We’re not talking about not cleaning rooms (every day); there are laws in place now where we have to clean and change clean sheets,” Billy Vassiliadis, who was representing the Nevada Resort Association, said in support of the bill during a hearing Tuesday.
