Prohibiting camping in public places

This bill prohibits camping in public spaces like sidewalks, parks, or under bridges without permission, defining "camp" as temporarily residing with shelter (including tents or makeshift structures). It makes violations a misdemeanor punishable by fines ($100-$1,000), community service (up to 40 hours), or a free bus ticket to select cities for first offenses. Officers must first offer alternative shelter options or contact service providers (e.g., for human trafficking prevention) before issuing citations, unless an immediate safety threat exists. The law does not override stricter local camping bans, allowing cities to enforce their own rules.
