We just passed the halfway point of the 2023 legislative session, with many bills still in play that will impact hospitality. Our government affairs team is working with lawmakers on dozens of issues such as increasing state tourism funding, extending alcohol-to-go options and addressing growing public safety concerns. They’re also working to defeat bills that would harm our industry.
