AI Summary

The policies must include providing at least 96 hours' written notice before removal, with information on personal property storage, available shelter and social services, and a process for reviewing whether the removal was just and humane. Exceptions to the notice requirement are allowed in cases of imminent harm or public health emergencies. The bill also restricts the issuance of citations for unlawful camping or loitering near the posted notice.
