antidiscrimination; employment; housing; public accommodations

HB 2364 expands Arizona's anti-discrimination law to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It directly affects businesses, landlords, and public facilities that serve the general public, including restaurants, hotels, and recreational venues. Key provisions require all new public restrooms or major renovations of existing restrooms in public buildings to be designated as gender-neutral, include accessible changing stations for all users, and provide clear signage. The law also defines "gender identity and gender expression" and clarifies that discrimination in public spaces based on protected characteristics is unlawful, with limited exceptions for safety or legal compliance.
