Council Member Shekar Krishnan co-sponsored the 'Safe Hotels Act', requiring hotels to obtain licensing as part of addressing human trafficking and increased prostitution in the city.
With a reported rise in forced prostitution along Roosevelt Avenue, Krishnan emphasizes the necessity for licensing hotels and massage parlors to curb unsafe activities.
At recent protests against prostitution, concerned residents demanded local leaders address the issue, with Krishnan stating that inadequate licensing allows harmful activities to thrive.
The Safe Hotels Act mandates continuous front desk coverage and security presence, as well as essential training for hotel staff, aiming to enhance safety in the community.
