An Assembly committee took up a bill that would repeal COVID-19 era cleaning standards for hotels, with opponents arguing hotels would no longer clean rooms daily and hotel representatives countering that they would ensure rooms are clean.

Senate Bill 441 passed the Senate on a bipartisan 18-to-3 vote and was heard Monday in the Assembly Committee on Commerce and Labor.

The bill would repeal Senate Bill 4, which was introduced in 2020 in response to COVID-19, requiring hotels in large counties like Clark and Washoe to follow the Department of Health and Human Services’ minimum standard of cleaning to curb the spread of COVID-19.
