State armories: homeless shelters: security.

Existing law makes specified state armories located in specified counties available to those counties, or a city in one of those counties, for the purpose of providing temporary shelter for homeless persons from October 15 through April 15 each year, and authorizes any county or city not listed, subject to the approval of the Adjutant General, to use an armory within its jurisdiction, in accordance with specified requirements. Existing law requires that a county or city that elects to use an armory as a temporary shelter obtain a license that meets specified requirements. Existing law also requires that the county or city that obtains a license to use an armory as a temporary shelter ensure that local law enforcement officers conduct periodic visits to the armory on each night of operation. This bill would instead require, prior to shelter services commencing, that the county or city notify local law enforcement officers and request that officers make periodic visits to the armory on each night of operation. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
