No hotel or motel owner or operator shall let, lease, or rent a hotel or motel room to any person without verifying that the guest registration card has been accurately completed, that the name, address, and official identification card number is legibly printed on the guest registration card and that the information corresponds to the information on the person's official identification card. Nor shall any hotel or motel agent or operator permit any use or occupancy of any hotel or motel room for any period of time without first verifying that the user of the room has completed a guest registration card. An individual occupying a room need not present an official identification card if the person has been referred to the hotel by a certified nonprofit organization and the written referral letter has been permanently attached to the guest registration card.
