The proposed bill, if enacted, would introduce new provisions to Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically by adding section 13-3411.01, which establishes "drug-free homeless service zones." This section would make it unlawful for individuals to intentionally sell or transfer dangerous or narcotic drugs within these zones, as well as for employees of facilities serving homeless individuals to knowingly violate policies prohibiting drug use. Violations would result in enhanced penalties, including increased felony classifications and mandatory fines, while also requiring facility operators to post visible signs designating these areas as drug-free.

Additionally, the bill would require operators of homeless service facilities to adopt formal policies against drug use and maintain signage indicating the drug-free status of their premises. It clarifies that individuals with valid prescriptions are exempt from these regulations. The bill aims to enhance public safety in areas serving vulnerable populations by imposing stricter penalties for drug-related offenses within designated zones, thereby updating current statutes to address the specific context of homelessness and drug use.
