WI SB621

Authorizes the Department of Administration and local governments to designate public property (excluding county fairgrounds and public parks) as "structured camping facilities" where homeless individuals and families can be assigned specific locations for temporary residence

Requires DOA to provide public safety, potable water, and adequate sanitary facilities at each structured camping facility, and to collect monthly data on facility utilization

Allows DOA to designate local public property as a structured camping facility without local approval if a resident petition goes unanswered for 12 months and the locality has above-average homeless population, or if 12+ individuals are on a waiting list in that jurisdiction

Conditions temporary residence at facilities on completion of mental health or substance use evaluations, with DOA authorized to expel individuals who fail to comply with instructions

Prohibits unauthorized camping on public property not designated for recreational or structured camping, with a warning for first violations and a Class C misdemeanor for subsequent violations (penalty does not apply to individuals on the waiting list)
