HR 3755 - Safe Stay Act

Overview

Bill Number: HR 3755
Title: Safe Stay Act
Status: Introduced in House
Introduced: June 05, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The Safe Stay Act aims to establish national standards and requirements for hotel and motel safety and security. The bill's primary goal is to enhance the protection and well-being of guests, employees, and communities by addressing various safety concerns within the hospitality industry.

Key Provisions

  • Mandates the implementation of comprehensive security protocols, including 24/7 video surveillance, secure entry/exit systems, and emergency response plans
  • Requires hotels and motels to conduct thorough background checks on all employees and provide regular safety training
  • Establishes minimum standards for lighting, fire safety equipment, and accessibility features to ensure guest safety
  • Directs the Department of Homeland Security to develop a nationwide certification program for "Safe Stay" accredited establishments
  • Provides tax incentives and grants to help smaller hospitality businesses comply with the new safety requirements
  • Imposes strict penalties, including fines and potential license revocation, for non-compliance

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Hotel and motel owners and operators would be required to invest in new security measures and training to meet the Act's standards
  • Guests and visitors to hotels and motels would benefit from enhanced safety protocols and a consistent level of security across the industry
  • Local communities may see a reduction in crime and increased public safety around hospitality establishments
  • Employees in the hospitality industry would receive additional training and protections to ensure their well-being on the job

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The Safe Stay Act was introduced in the House of Representatives on June 05, 2025 and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further consideration. If passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by the President, the Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to develop and implement the new safety standards and certification program within 18 months of enactment.
