Purpose and Intent
San Diego Municipal Code § 312.0101
in effect§312.0101 Purpose and Intent
The purpose and intent of this Division is to ensure that employees who work in the hospitality industry within the City, specifically at hotels, event centers, and amusement parks, receive a wage that allows employees to better provide for themselves and their families. The City has an interest in ensuring that the hospitality workforce is stable and productive because the City relies on revenue the hospitality industry generates, including from sales tax and transient occupancy tax, to fund critical City services and programs. The City also has an interest in promoting an employment environment that protects government resources, increases consumer income, decreases poverty, and stimulates local businesses.
