Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill creating new rules for homeless people sleeping in public during a press conference Wednesday in Miami Beach. House Bill 1365 will prevent homeless people from sleeping in public places such as streets, sidewalks and parks. The new law would allow counties to designate areas for the homeless to reside in for up to a year. It would require the locations to have access to resources like restrooms, running water, security and health care. Anyone using the encampments would be prohibited from using alcohol or illegal drugs. Miami Beach Mayor Steve Meiner said this law will give law enforcement the tools they need to give homeless people the resources they might need. He said criminal activity and drug use are not acceptable in public spaces. "This legislation will absolutely help people," Meiner said during the news conference. "It's tough love."
