St. Petersburg, Florida -- The City of St. Petersburg may consider a ban on feeding the homeless in downtown parks.
The move comes after a ruling by the Federal appeals court last week that a similar ban in Orlando is not unconstitutional.
Now, councilman Karl Nurse would like to bring the ban based on the Orlando ordinance to St. Petersburg.
It would essentially forbid the feeding of 25 or more people in downtown parks. The only exception would be if the person were to get a permit. Even then, they would only be allowed to feed in one particular area twice a year.
