Georgia lawmakers pass a bill that advocates fear will land homeless people in jail

Georgia lawmakers have passed a bill allowing property owners to file claims against local governments for not enforcing bans on outdoor sleeping and bans that require cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Critics, including Democrats and homelessness advocates, argue the bill would lead to arrests of homeless people and frivolous lawsuits. They say lawmakers should instead invest in housing and resources for homeless people. The bill's supporters say it holds cities accountable for not enforcing policies and compensates people who are affected. The bill was passed on Friday and awaits the governor's signature to become law.
