Florida Politics reports:

It could be significantly harder for unhoused people to sleep in public spaces soon, as the House has passed legislation cracking down on the practice and compelling counties to set up homeless camps. The Republican Rep. Sam Garrison bill has been called a “carrot and stick” approach to managing the homeless problem in the state.

“The status quo is not acceptable,” the Clay County Republican said ahead of the 82-26 vote, saying this bill would be among the most impactful passed this Session. HB 1365 bans counties and municipalities from permitting public sleeping or public camping on public property without explicit permission.

Yarborough is the author of Florida’s ban on minors attending drag shows. He first appeared on JMG in 2010, when as a member of the Jacksonville City Council he declared that gays, Muslims, and atheists should not be permitted to hold public office, otherwise God will smite the fuck out of the country.

The bill’s originating author, state Sen. Jonathan Martin, appeared here in January when the Senate advanced his bill giving DeSantis the power to remove any elected official who votes against Confederate monuments.

Martin first appeared here in 2022 when as chairman of the Lee County GOP he introduced a resolution banning federal agents from Florida and declaring WHO to be a terrorist organization.

Last year his bill shielding DeSantis’s travel records and the names of visitors to the governor’s mansion was overwhelming approved.

Martin is the author of the new Florida law allowing the death penalty for child molesters. The first such execution is already in the works.

Earlier this month, Martin filed a bill that would ban state agencies and contractors from recognizing the identities of transgender state employees.
