REGIONAL—N’West Iowa lodging providers are starting to get on board with a new state law regarding human trafficking prevention training.
State law requires hotels, bed and breakfasts, AirBnBs, and any other lodging locations in Iowa to train all employees to spot human trafficking.
Under state law passed in 2020, lodging providers are now required to complete human trafficking awareness training if they use public funds. Any hotel or motel that wants to host public events or conferences, or receives money from any public entity has to complete this online training starting Jan. 1. This includes all staff -- from front desk workers to cleaning staff. It's free online curriculum with videos and a test.
