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.

So the legislation is targeted at the homeless, but to make it fair, the general wording is for anyone.

Ah perfect, rules that are inherently up to interpretation and selectively enforced.
