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 a notice and hearing process. Additionally, the bill mandates that registered sex offenders are prohibited from residing in any facility that houses 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 language of the bill includes new insertions such as the definitions and regulatory authority granted to local governing bodies, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
