House Bill 1671 aims to regulate the relocation of homeless individuals by local governmental entities in Tennessee. The bill introduces new provisions that prohibit these entities from relocating homeless individuals to another jurisdiction without obtaining written consent from the receiving jurisdiction. Additionally, it stipulates that public funds cannot be used for such relocations unless the local governmental entity can confirm that adequate housing and necessary services are available in the destination jurisdiction.

The bill also empowers the attorney general to impose civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation of the new regulations regarding relocation. Furthermore, jurisdictions affected by violations can seek damages and injunctive relief against the local governmental entity responsible for the relocation. This legislation is designed to ensure that homeless individuals are not moved without proper consent and support, thereby protecting their rights and welfare.
