Bill No. 484 aims to regulate the establishment of homeless shelters in municipalities with populations under 300,000. It defines key terms such as "domestic violence shelter," "homeless person," and "youth shelter," and prohibits the approval of new homeless shelters within 3,000 feet of any school or school property. However, existing shelters that were properly zoned and approved prior to the bill's enactment are allowed to continue operating without the threat of relocation or closure, even if a school is established nearby afterward.

The bill also clarifies that its provisions do not apply to domestic violence shelters, youth shelters, or homeless shelters operated within places of worship. This legislation is intended to ensure the safety and well-being of communities while providing necessary exceptions for specific types of shelters. An emergency clause is included, allowing the bill to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
