This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 44-7952, to title 44, chapter 38, which will now be titled "BUSINESSES GENERALLY" instead of "BUSINESSES EXEMPT FROM MASK MANDATE." The new section will prohibit online lodging marketplaces from displaying or offering properties for rent unless the property and the online lodging operator comply with all relevant state, county, and local laws. Violations of this provision will incur a civil penalty of $250 for each instance, with each day of non-compliance counted as a separate violation.

Additionally, the bill empowers cities and towns to verify compliance, enforce penalties, and report the number of violations and total penalties collected to the department of revenue. The definitions of "online lodging marketplace" and "online lodging operator" will align with those in section 42-5076, ensuring consistency in terminology across the statutes.
