The decision holds DPS must enforce public safety and crime prevention, not influence legislative attendance. Fort Worth Rep. Lon Burnam, who sued, praised the ruling as a check on executive power.

Larry Elder notes Cincinnati requires panhandling registration after Dayton’s model. Since May 2003 only 53 have signed up, many to protest. He cites studies linking homelessness to substance issues and argues nonprofits aid the truly needy. He questions why panhandlers need licenses and cites Milton Friedman on economic freedom and licensing. Elder, an attorney and talk show host, comments on legal and civic implications.
