If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section that outlines specific requirements for homeless service providers engaged in mixed hoteling. The bill mandates that these providers, along with building supervisors and owners, must prominently display a warning sign at all entrances and exits, as well as in a visible location from the reception desk. The sign must inform guests that the establishment houses homeless individuals alongside the general public and provide safety recommendations. Additionally, the bill specifies that the sign must adhere to particular formatting guidelines, including font size and color, and must be posted on any relevant booking websites.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a requirement for hotels to provide a printed form to guests before check-in, clearly stating the mixed hoteling arrangement. Guests who object to this arrangement must be issued a full refund at the time of arrival. The bill also prohibits the use of state or local funds for mixed hoteling and defines key terms such as "homeless service provider" and "mixed hoteling." Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and safety for guests in hotels that serve both the general public and homeless individuals.
