Bill Summary
Amends the offense of promoting a controlled substance in, on, or near schools, school vehicles, public parks, or public housing projects or complexes to include homeless facilities. (SD1)
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to expand the offense of promoting a controlled substance, which currently applies to areas around schools, school vehicles, public parks, and public housing projects or complexes, to now include "homeless facilities." A homeless facility is defined as a development providing shelter for homeless families or individuals, which can include emergency or transitional shelters. The purpose of this change is to deter illegal drug activity in and around these shelters, thereby protecting residents and staff and supporting efforts to connect individuals with services and stable housing, acknowledging the correlation between substance use and homelessness.
