Homeless encampments; prohibit camping, panhandling or loitering on public and private property with conditions.

Mississippi's SB 2330 proposes to prohibit camping, panhandling, and loitering on public and private property statewide, with limited exceptions like designated camping areas or permits. It allows local governments to create permitting programs for homeless camping on private property under strict conditions (e.g., no feasible alternatives, waste management plans) and requires 48 hours' notice before enforcement. Violations would be misdemeanors (not appearing on public records) and encampments could be removed humanely after 72 hours' notice. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.
