Current Bill Summary

SB 791 - This act provides that a political subdivision located within a charter county or St. Louis City shall, in conjunction with any law enforcement agency and local continuum of care within its boundaries, develop an ordinance, order, or policy relating to homeless individuals which shall establish an encampment support team who shall notify homeless individuals of any relocation to temporary shelters or housing.

This act also repeals provisions relating to unauthorized camping on state grounds and provides that within 30 days from the notification by the political subdivision, any person living in an encampment shall relocate to a temporary shelter or housing provided by the political subdivision or another organization and any person in violation of this act shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor, unless it is his or her first offense then it shall be a warning.

This act is substantially similar to SB 622 (2023).
