FL H0711

Replaces the term "transient residence" with "homelessness status" and defines "homelessness" as a temporary condition of people without adequate housing, including those without a dwelling who sleep or seek shelter.

Requires sexual offenders and predators without permanent or temporary addresses to register monthly in person with the sheriff's office, providing specific sleeping locations or shelter locations.

Clarifies language in loitering statute to state that offenders commit the crime if within 300 feet of a place where children "congregate" rather than "were congregating."

Establishes that failure to comply with monthly homeless registration requirements constitutes a violation of registration provisions and falsely claiming homelessness status is a violation of the registration statute.

Applies terminology changes and monthly registration requirements for homeless offenders and predators across multiple statutes governing sexual offender and predator registration and notification (ss. 775.21, 943.0435, 944.606, 944.607, 985.481, and 985.4815).
