Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill creates "drug-free homeless service zones" around facilities that provide services to homeless people. Committing certain drug offenses within these zones will result in a harsher penalty. The bill also prohibits unauthorized public camping or sleeping on public property, though local governments can designate specific areas for camping under strict conditions and with state approval.
