IA HSB286

Prohibits unauthorized sleeping, camping, or long-term shelter on public property; first-time violators receive a warning and offer of services, but refusing to vacate after a warning results in a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days confinement and fines of $105-$855

Allows counties and cities to designate public property for sanctioned homeless camping for up to one year, with required standards including resident lists, assigned spaces, sanitation facilities (running water, restrooms, showers), access to behavioral health services, and a ban on alcohol and illegal substances

Creates "drug-free homeless service zones" within 300 feet of homeless shelters receiving government funding; selling controlled substances in these zones adds one year to existing sentences, and facility operators who allow drug possession/use face aggravated misdemeanor charges and three-year ineligibility for state homelessness grants

Prohibits political subdivisions from adopting policies that discourage enforcement of anti-camping ordinances; the attorney general may bring civil actions against non-compliant jurisdictions and recover legal expenses

Requires coordinating entities and homeless service providers receiving government funding to submit annual reports to the Iowa Finance Authority detailing funding sources, disbursements, populations served, bed counts, retention rates, and outcomes data, which must be made publicly available online
