Proposition 65 Defense Lawyer: Is your hotel ready for the new Prop 65 regulation deadline?
Advice from a Proposition 65 Compliance & Defense lawyer for hotels.
For many years, businesses operating in California have been plagued by “bounty hunter” and government lawsuits brought under Proposition 65 — the California law that requires warnings about hazardous substances. The technical disclosure requirements have bedeviled many legitimate businesses for some time. From our continuous interaction with members of the hotel industry, it appears to us that many are not aware of new requirements they must meet by August 30, 2018.
While the new regulations apply generally to all businesses in California, there are particular implications for hotels and restaurants given the nature of their operations. And if you are not in compliance by August 30, 2018, you can probably expect a lawsuit shortly thereafter. We expect these new requirements to stir up a lot of expensive litigation for the unprepared.
In this article, Jodi Smith, a senior member of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group®, explains this significant development.
