Prince George’s County lawmakers are seeking to crack down on human trafficking in the county by banning hourly rentals of hotel rooms.
County Council member Karen R. Toles plans to introduce legislation to that effect Tuesday as well as a separate bill that would require hotel operators to provide training to employees on how to identify human trafficking activities and victims.
A county working group charged with studying and combating the problem has been able to identify about 130 cases of human trafficking in the county since 2013, said Michael Lyles, chairman of the Prince George’s County Human Trafficking Task Force.

I had no idea there were hourly hotel rentals. Gosh...LMAO
Isn't that where most of the people who run the Federal Government live?
How will they enforce it??? Probably by breaking down the doors and arresting everybody (or killing them).
The Gay community will be "up in arms" at this one.....
Mayor Ireton will have to take his "Dates" to another town now.
