homeless; restrooms; water; statewide preemption

SB 1185 requires Arizona municipalities to provide 24-hour access to public restrooms and potable water for homeless individuals, and counties to do the same for county-maintained facilities. The bill establishes statewide preemption, prohibiting local governments from adding further regulations on this requirement. It declares homelessness a statewide concern, making the access mandate uniform across all jurisdictions. The bill failed to pass on February 20, 2025, after advancing through Senate readings.
