Earlier this month, the House Commerce Committee heard HB 1549, which would allow a hotel or innkeeper to deny accommodations to persons under 21 years of age for public safety or economic reasons. The Commerce Committee expressed some concerns about discriminating against persons under 21 years of age and suggested the idea of giving the ability to deny accommodations to anyone for public safety or economic reasons. A subcommittee work session is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7 at 2:30 pm.
The House voted to send HB 1549 back to the Commerce Committee for further study. The bill would allow a hotel or innkeeper to deny accommodations to persons less than 21 years of age for public safety or economic reasons. If the Commerce Committee decides to bring the issue back, it would likely occur in the 2007 Legislative Session.
