Report to City Council
Meeting Date: April 16, 2025
Title: Consideration of a Letter of Opposition to California Senate Bill 634 (SB 634 - Perez)
Contact Information: Kary Hauck, Interim City Manager
Background: BACKGROUND:
The League of California Cities made contact with the City of Live Oak on April 10, 2025 to encourage our governing officials to oppose SB 634, which would severely limit cities' ability to respond to the growing homeless crisis in communities across California. SB 634 prohibits local governments from adopting any regulation, policy, or guidance that imposes civil or criminal penalties on a person experiencing homelessness. By eliminating all enforcement mechanisms, SB 634 gives people the right to stand, sit, lay, sleep or put up a tent in any public space.
DISCUSSION:
SB 634 strips the City's ability to exercise local control and safeguard community character, infrastructure, and public safety.
Furthermore, the bill fails to hold all residents to consistent standards, potentially increasing tensions between housed and unhoused populations.
For these reasons, staff has prepared a letter of opposition for Council consideration (attached). Submitting this letter ensures that the City of Live Oak's position is reflected in the statewide legislative process.
Fiscal Impacts: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the submission of this letter.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council consider and approve a letter of opposition to California Senate Bill 634 (SB 634) Perez , and direct staff to submit the letter to the appropriate legislative representatives and League of California Cities.

RE: SB 634 (Pérez) Homelessness: civil and criminal penalties Notice of OPPOSITION (As Amended 03/26/25)
Dear Senator Durazo,
The City of Live Oak must respectfully oppose SB 634 (Pérez), which would prohibit local jurisdictions from adopting or enforcing ordinances to address homelessness. While we recognize the bill’s intent, SB 634 would severely limit cities' ability to respond to the growing homelessness crisis in communities across California.
Cities are implementing balanced approaches that protect both the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness and the broader community’s needs for clean, safe, and accessible public spaces. SB 634 hinders this progress by prohibiting local governments from adopting any regulation, policy, or guidance that imposes civil or criminal penalties on a person experiencing homelessness. By eliminating all enforcement mechanisms, SB 634 gives people the right to stand, sit, lay, sleep, or put up a tent in any public place.
SB 634 (Pérez), makes our communities less safe and strips local control over how the unhoused population impacts our businesses, public spaces and neighboring property owners. This bill imposes a one-size-fits-all mandate that disregards small rural cities like Live Oak. We firmly believe that the unhoused population should be held to the same laws and standards as the housed population – no one should be above the law, regardless of their housing status. Equality under the law is essential to maintaining public safety, community trust and accountability for all.
Cities have been sued by business owners for allowing encampments to block access to businesses and by disability rights advocates over encampments that have obstructed sidewalks and public spaces. Without the ability to use civil or criminal enforcement remedies, cities would face increased legal liability and more importantly, have no meaningful way to respond to urgent health and safety concerns. The City of Live Oak recognizes that we must remain focused on connecting unhoused residents to housing and services, but cities also need basic tools to meet their legal obligations and protect public spaces.
20 City Hall: 530-695-2112 Live Oak Blvd., Live Oak, CA 95953 www.liveoakcity.org SB 634 also directly contradicts cities’ efforts to address encampments in response to the Governor’s November 2024 executive order. The order directed state departments and agencies to adopt policies to address homeless encampments on state properties and encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies or risk losing access to state homelessness funding. Cities want to help the state to realize our shared vision of reducing homelessness and supporting our most vulnerable residents. However, SB 634 leaves cities without any enforcement tools, hindering cities' ability to carry out the Governor’s directive and jeopardizing state funding cities receive to address homelessness.
Local jurisdictions are already working within a complex and evolving legal landscape, including recent federal court decisions like Johnson v. Grants Pass, which clarified constitutional limits on how cities can address homelessness through enforcement actions. In response to the Grants Pass ruling, the Governor stated:
“Today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court provides state and local officials the definitive authority to implement and enforce policies to clear unsafe encampments from our streets. This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common-sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities.”
SB 634 directly undermines this decision by stripping local governments of the authority to tailor enforcement strategies to their unique circumstances. It also disregards the years of legal effort cities have invested to gain the clarity now provided by the Court.
The City of Live Oak urges the Legislature to support policies that empower local governments to act with compassion and urgency — not tie their hands behind their backs. SB 634 does not reflect the nuanced, community-led solutions that are showing promise across the state. For these reasons, the City of Live Oak must oppose SB 634 (Pérez).
