Fair criticism, but the bill will also make camping illegal as well as put a tremendous logistical burden on local municipalities all while offering zero funding.
Under HB 1365:
Individuals who are homeless are prohibited from camping on city streets, sidewalks, and parks—and are instead placed in temporary shelters monitored by law enforcement agencies.
The state of Florida has the enforcement tools needed to ensure local governments comply.
Homeless shelters will require occupants to not use drugs.
These shelters will also include substance abuse and mental health treatments.
