AUSTIN, Texas — Starting Monday, Austin police will begin enforcing the city's new homelessness rules. This comes just 10 days after the city council changed ordinances to decriminalize homelessness.
Before the change, it was illegal to sit, lie or camp in public. Now, officers will only give tickets to people who block pathways. The city council changed another part of the ordinance that only makes it illegal to panhandle if someone is being aggressive.
