Nassau County is looking to ban hourly motel bookings and require hotels to keep a detailed log of all guests — part of an effort to put the squeeze on sleazy spots where sex trafficking runs rampant. A new bill from County Legislator Michael Giangregorio would end any bookings under eight hours and also force all hotels and motels to document all guests’ names, addresses and keep copies of their photo IDs for five years. The businesses would also be forced to preserve all security footage for at least 90 days and train new employees on how to recognize the signs of human trafficking.
