Relating to the authority of a political subdivision to regulate panhandling on public property; creating a criminal offense.

HB 1910 requires municipalities with over 100,000 residents to adopt ordinances mandating permits for panhandling on public property, with other local governments (like counties or school districts) allowed to do the same. It prohibits fees for permits but permits reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions to enhance public safety. Applicants must provide their name, planned time, and location, and permits are limited to 12 consecutive hours and must be issued in person on physical paper. The bill explicitly excludes panhandling by registered 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. This legislation directly affects individuals seeking to solicit donations on public property and local governments establishing regulatory frameworks.
