The bill amends section 36-605 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which addresses health menaces related to the use of common towels and drinking cups. Under current law, it is a petty offense for a person to knowingly provide or furnish a common towel or drinking cup that may be used by more than one person in various public settings, including barber shops and public lavatories.
The new bill language clarifies the terminology by replacing "which" with "that" and updates the term "wash house" to "washhouse." Additionally, it removes the specific mention of "wash house" and retains the broader category of "public place," thereby modernizing the language while maintaining the intent of the law.
