A bill for an act establishing drug-free homeless service zones, and providing penalties.
This bill establishes "drug-free homeless service zones" around facilities providing shelter to homeless individuals that receive government funding. It prohibits selling, transferring, or using controlled substances within 300 feet of these facilities and requires facilities to post bilingual signs identifying the zone. Violations of drug sales in these zones increase sentences by one year (with no probation or deferred sentences), while facility operators allowing drug use face a fine and a three-year ban on state homelessness grants. The bill directly affects homeless service providers, individuals selling drugs in these zones, and facility operators who fail to enforce the rules.
