Louisville, KY short-term hotel stays human trafficking
The Louisville City Council has proposed a new ordinance which would ban hotel stays of less than 12 hours, outlaw hourly room rentals, and prevent owners from offering discounts for early checkout. The ordinance was designed to help victims of human and drug trafficking by preventing city hotel rooms that supply space for these crimes to happen behind closed doors. Any violation would result in a $500 fine that would go into a youth housing fund to help victims of these types of crimes.
