The bill authorizes the Calhoun County Commission and municipal governing bodies to regulate halfway houses and similar facilities within their jurisdictions. It defines key terms such as "court order," "facility," and "halfway house," and allows for the establishment of regulations that may include permit requirements, size and location limitations, tenant restrictions, and civil penalties for violations. Specifically, a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per day per resident can be imposed for each violation, following notice and a hearing. Additionally, the bill mandates that any resolution adopted must prohibit registered sex offenders from residing in facilities housing residents enrolled by court order or supervised by the Calhoun County Community Punishment and Corrections Authority, Inc.

The act will take effect on June 1, 2025, and includes provisions for enforcement through civil actions in the Circuit Court of Calhoun County. The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish the regulatory framework for these facilities.
