If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by introducing new requirements for homeless service providers engaged in mixed hoteling. Specifically, it mandates that these providers, along with building supervisors and owners, must post prominent signage at all entrances and exits, as well as in visible locations from the reception desk. The signs must convey that the establishment is housing homeless individuals alongside the general public and include safety recommendations for guests. Additionally, the bill specifies that the signage must adhere to particular formatting guidelines, including font size and color, and must be displayed on any relevant booking websites.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that guests who object to mixed hoteling must be issued a full refund prior to check-in. It also prohibits the use of state or local funds for mixed hoteling initiatives. Definitions for "homeless service provider" and "mixed hoteling" are included to clarify the scope of the legislation. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and safety in establishments that provide mixed hoteling services.
