    Good Morning All –

    Have your agencies made any changes to policy/procedure in reference to HB 1365 coming into effect October 1? If so, could you please share your policy as well as how the information was summarized and disseminated to your sworn members (i.e any memos, email verbiage etc.)

    Thank you in advance and have a wonderful weekend!

    We sent out a legislative update (attached). This is number 16 on the last page. We are still working on policy revisions, but this is what we are planning to add:

    A. An individual who violates State law, City ordinance or a Rule or Regulation as provided in Ordinance 20-30, while on or within any City-Owned property, may be issued a City-Owned Property Trespass Warning Form for the specific City-Owned property where the violation occurred.

    ADDING: Officers will take action to prohibit any person from regularly engaging in the activity of public camping or sleeping overnight, when made aware of such activity (§ 125.0231, Florida Statutes).
