mixed hoteling; signage; requirements
HB 2803 requires homeless service providers operating mixed housing (where homeless individuals share a building with regular hotel guests) to display specific warning signs at entrances, in the lobby, and on their website. These signs must state the building houses homeless individuals alongside the public, use a mandated red, 25-point font on white, and be at least 18x24 inches. The bill also mandates that guests receive a printed notice before check-in and can receive a full refund if they object to mixed hoteling. Additionally, it prohibits using state or local funds for mixed hoteling. The bill passed the Arizona legislature in May 2025 but was vetoed by the Governor on May 13, 2025, so it did not become law.

MODERATE
The bill was renumbered from an introduced version to a House Engrossed version, indicating it has passed initial review. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a formal definition for 'Homeless service provider,' specifying that the provider must serve individuals who are destitute. A minor formatting correction was made to the sign text by removing a period at the end of a sentence, and the section title was updated to pluralize 'definitions.'
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on mixed hoteling regulations, but the definition of who qualifies as a 'Homeless service provider' is now explicitly limited to those serving destitute individuals.
DEFINITION
Added a specific definition for 'Homeless service provider' requiring the provider to serve individuals who are destitute.
Changed the section title from 'definition' to 'definitions' to accommodate the new content.
REQUIREMENT
Corrected a punctuation error in the required signage text by removing a period at the end of a sentence.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header to reflect its status as the House Engrossed version.
