What SB 634 does, verified December 7, 2025

The bill aims to prohibit local jurisdictions from adopting ordinances that prohibit providing support services to homeless individuals or assisting them with basic survival needs. This includes services such as food, clothing, and shelter. The bill defines terms related to homelessness, including "support services," "basic survival," and "homeless person." The bill applies to all cities, including charter cities, and addresses a matter of statewide concern, rather than a local issue.
