Bill > H7967

This bill updates the Homeless Bill of Rights to add rules governing the interaction with encampments and include the right to access clean and sanitary conditions. It requires police and public works departments to adopt written policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the requirements of this chapter, and imposes fines for non-compliance. The bill also provides for a 60-day notice period before any enforcement action to relocate or vacate persons occupying an encampment on public property, and requires reasonable alternatives for relocation to be made available in collaboration with outreach workers. It also requires that any personal property found on-site be maintained by the enforcement agency for at least 30 days after the enforcement action has been completed, except to address health or safety hazards.
