A new Florida law set to take effect on October 1, 2024, will make it illegal to sleep or camp on public property without special permission from the state. The law, known as HB 1365
, prohibits counties and cities from allowing people to sleep or camp in public spaces unless they receive certification from the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). This bill is significant because it essentially criminalizes sleeping on public land in Florida unless certain state-approved conditions are met.
