The resolution addresses the regulation of short-term and vacation rentals in Arizona, proposing significant changes to existing land use laws. If approved by voters and proclaimed by the Governor, it will repeal certain sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) and amend others to clarify property owners' rights regarding short-term rentals. The resolution aims to ensure that property owners are compensated if their property values decrease due to new regulations, while also defining what constitutes a "vacation rental" and "short-term rental." It emphasizes that any land use law must demonstrate exemption from compensation requirements if it pertains to public health and safety or other specified exceptions, thereby balancing property owners' interests with regulatory needs.

Additionally, the resolution sets forth provisions regarding the confidentiality of information related to Indian tribes, healthcare organizations, and online lodging operators. It allows for the sharing of certain information with qualifying hospitals and local officials under strict confidentiality rules, while also requiring online lodging operators to have a current transaction privilege tax license and display it in their advertisements. Non-compliance will result in civil penalties, with escalating fines for repeated violations. The resolution clarifies definitions related to lodging accommodations and mandates that the Secretary of State submit the proposition to voters in the next general election, ensuring that all stakeholders understand their obligations under the law.
