Bill > HB2150

This bill creates a new law that prohibits establishing "unauthorized camps" within 500 feet of school property, whether public or private. An unauthorized camp is defined as any tent, shelter, or bedding arrangement intended for overnight use on property not designated as a campsite. If a law enforcement officer commands a person to vacate an unauthorized camp near a school and the person refuses, they can be convicted of a misdemeanor. The potential penalty includes a fine up to $50, imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year, or both. The bill specifically defines "private school property" as a non-governmental school offering instruction for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, and "public school property" as publicly owned property used for educational purposes, excluding leased or rented properties. The law is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to address concerns about encampments near educational institutions.
