In hotels, providing for protection of hotel employees; and imposing penalties.

Chamber Passed·7/7/25

Pennsylvania HB1358 mandates hotel employers to provide safety devices to employees and outlines protections and penalties.

Pennsylvania HB1358 amends Title 48 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance hotel employee safety. It requires hotel employers to provide each hotel employee with a safety device, such as a two-way radio, when working alone in a guest room. Employees can use these devices to report crimes, threats, or emergencies. Upon activation, hotel management must respond promptly. The bill also mandates reassignment of employees who report threats, protects them from retaliation, and requires an education program for hotel employees.
