Bill overview
Assembly Bill 820 aims to prevent local governments and law enforcement agencies from simply transporting homeless individuals to different locations without first securing them temporary or permanent shelter. The bill establishes definitions for key terms like ‘homeless individual’ and ‘emergency shelter,’ and creates a civil penalty of $10,000 for agencies that violate these provisions. It emphasizes the need for coordinated housing solutions rather than relying on relocation as a primary response to homelessness.
