Supporters said the measure addresses unregulated sober living homes that can endanger residents and neighboring communities. “The bill is intended to require DHS minimum health and safety standards for sober living homes to include policies and procedures that require each sober living home to maintain an environment that promotes the recovery, health and safety of residents,” Representative Gress said during floor remarks, noting he worked with the Department of Child Safety to refine language for protecting caseworkers in schools on other bills.

Representative Aguilar, who explained his vote, said he has witnessed unlicensed sober living homes in his district and cited instances of public safety problems near such homes. “My neighbors have had enough, and nothing seems to ever get done with this issue,” he said before voting aye.

Some members noted the bill had been revised through negotiations; Representative Gress and Representative Sandoval said they wanted additional tribal and stakeholder input on remaining concerns but supported the measure as a step toward accountability.

The clerk recorded the final vote as 42 ayes, 10 nays and 8 not voting; the bill passed and was signed in open session per the transcript record.

Supporters of the bill said it would provide legal recourse and coverage for people who later seek to reverse gender‑affirming procedures, pointing to cases of detransitioners who say they were harmed. “This bill is about holding medical providers accountable and giving detransitioners a path to care,” Representative Keshle said during debate.

Opponents described the measure as an attack on transgender people and warned it would drive health care providers from the state. “This bill is another attack on transgender people and the practitioners who provide services to them,” Representative Contreras said. Representative Gutierrez added that the measure “threatens health care providers with lawsuits” and would worsen an existing physician shortage.

Several members raised specific concerns about the bill’s scope and consequences. Representative Contreras argued the language would make each practitioner liable for the full cost of a later detransition, even if multiple providers treated the patient. He said the bill lacked a clear definition of “gender‑transition procedure” and could be read to include pharmaceuticals that are used for other indications. Representative Daniel Santos cited medical literature supporting gender‑affirming care and warned the bill could increase suicide risk if it restricted access to care: “Gender affirming care led to a 30 percent reduction in suicidal ideation,” he said, summarizing a meta‑analysis he cited.

Proponents countered with personal accounts and references to detransitioners. Representative Diaz and Representative Fink urged the House to provide coverage and hold practitioners accountable for irreversible procedures performed on minors, citing stories such as Chloe Cole, which they said illustrate the stakes for some families.

The Committee of the Whole vote that day recommended SB 15‑86 do pass and the bill was placed on the calendar for third reading. The transcript records the committee motion and the extended debate, but the transcript excerpt provided does not show a final third‑reading vote on the House floor.

The debate repeatedly drew a line between policy arguments about parental responsibility, medical liability and state regulation, and broader concerns about whether the measure would have a chilling effect on medical practice in Arizona. Lawmakers on both sides asked how the bill would define covered procedures and which practitioners would face liability.

The bill’s future steps, as recorded in the transcript, are a committee recommendation to pass and placement on third reading; the record supplied does not include a subsequent final passage or veto.

Supporters: the committee recommendation and supporters’ comments framed the bill as providing justice and access for detransitioners. Opponents: said the bill is unnecessary, vague, and could create broad liability and worsen provider shortages.

Looking forward, the transcript shows lawmakers urged additional clarifications about the bill’s definitions, territorial reach and whether liability would extend to out‑of‑state practitioners. If the bill advances to final passage, these points are likely to shape amendments or litigation.

","After extended floor remarks for and against, the Committee of the Whole recommended that Senate Bill 15‑86 do pass. Lawmakers split over whether the measure protects detransitioning patients or chills medical care and targets transgender people.","actionData","errors"]
