LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A state senate bill that would require daily room cleaning in Las Vegas resorts is seeing some opposition, including from the governor himself.
Senate Bill 360 was introduced Monday by Sen. Lori Rogich and would reimpose requirements that were originally put in place in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here were some of the precautions put in place as hotels were reopening during the pandemic:
Gov. Joe Lombardo previously signed a bipartisan bill repealing the pandemic-era requirements during the 2023 legislative session.
The new measure has the support of the Culinary Union, who has previously said resort companies have used the repeal of the daily cleaning requirements as an excuse to lay off housekeeping employees.

However, Lombardo said he did not "see any good public policy to reinstate Covid-era room cleaning requirements in Nevada..." in a post on his official government X account.
