Persons seeking temporary shelter; provision of temporary shelter by locality. Prohibits a locality from adopting or enforcing any ordinance that creates criminal penalties for sleeping or seeking temporary shelter in a legally parked vehicle and provides that no person who is sleeping or seeking temporary shelter in a legally parked car shall be detained solely for such reason. The bill prohibits a locality from detaining any person who is public camping, as defined in the bill, solely for such reason unless the locality is able to immediately provide other temporary shelter to such person or the person is deemed to pose an immediate threat to the public. The bill also requires a locality to make a reasonable effort to provide temporary shelter for individuals without housing and gives authority to use government-owned property for such purpose.
