All Iowa Lodging Properties Must Renew Human Trafficking Prevention Certification to Welcome State Employees and Host State-Funded Events

All Iowa lodging providers must have completed the Department of Public Safety’s Human Trafficking Prevention Training certification to receive public funds for any state-funded event. This includes state employee lodging, conferences, meetings, or banquets.

These certifications must be renewed every three years. Many properties completed their certification in late 2021 and must now complete the certification process again to stay in compliance. Lodging properties can update their certification with the Department of Public Safety at any time to reset the three-year certification.

The process remains the same for certification and the steps are described below.
