The Florida Attorney General’s Office sent a notice of violation to the City of Winter Haven accusing the city of violating Florida’s law that bans public camping and public sleeping in certain public spaces.

The Florida Attorney General’s Office is raising concerns that the City of Winter Haven may be violating state law related to public camping and sleeping.

The attorney general of Florida and several business and anti-marijuana groups are telling the state Supreme Court to block a cannabis legalization initiative, calling it “fatally flawed” and unconstitutional as advocates work against the clock to qualify the measure for the November ballot.

Attorney General James Uthmeier and two major business groups have urged the Florida Supreme Court to reject a proposed recreational-marijuana constitutional amendment.

The attorney general sent Winter Haven a letter saying the city is violating a state law banning public camping. He posted the letter and pictures on X.

In a response letter, the City of Winter Haven said it actively enforces state, county and local laws, and emphasized that homelessness itself is not a crime.
