Indiana Governor Mike Braun has signed a bill into law that prohibits unauthorized camping on public land and provides a clear path for homeless individuals to shelter, diversion, and mental health services. The law requires law enforcement to determine if an emergency mental health detention is appropriate before any criminal action is initiated. Critics argue the law does little to address the lack of emergency beds and affordable housing, leading to homeless people sleeping without shelter. The bill also provides diversion options when no shelter or treatment bed is available within five miles or when a person has been recently released following an involuntary mental health commitment.
