The ordinance has been reworked over the last few months after initial protests, and now would require shelter be provided to individuals before possible arrest or other penalties.
Editor's note: This story that appeared on-air said the ordinance is in effect when there is no available indoor housing, but the ordinance is only triggered when indoor housing is available and someone still chooses to sleep in a public space outdoors.
