House Bill 1671, also known as Senate Bill 1788, amends Tennessee law regarding the relocation of homeless individuals by local governmental entities. The bill establishes new provisions that prohibit these entities from relocating homeless individuals to another jurisdiction without obtaining written consent from the receiving jurisdiction. Additionally, it restricts the use of public funds for such relocations unless the local governmental entity can verify that adequate housing and necessary services are available in the receiving area.

The bill also empowers the attorney general to impose civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation of the new provisions, and it allows jurisdictions affected by such violations to seek damages and injunctive relief against the local governmental entity responsible for the relocation. This legislation aims to ensure that homeless individuals are not displaced without proper support and consent from the jurisdictions involved.
