This bill proposes to amend section 36-605 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which currently addresses the provision of common towels and drinking cups in public settings. Under current law, a person who knowingly provides or furnishes a common towel or drinking cup that may be used by more than one person in a barber shop, public wash house, public lavatory, or any other public place is guilty of a petty offense.
The proposed changes include the insertion of the word "that" for clarity and the replacement of "wash house" with "washhouse" for consistency. Additionally, the bill removes the term "wash house" entirely, streamlining the language to simply refer to "washhouse or public lavatory." Overall, these updates aim to modernize the statute while maintaining its original intent regarding health safety in public facilities.
