AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, establishes new procedures for dealing with "unauthorized camps," defined as any tent, shelter, or bedding set up for overnight use on property not officially designated as a campsite. If the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) receives three credible reports of such unauthorized camps on land within a municipality or county that is not a designated campsite, both the DEQ and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will evaluate the site based on basic environmental and sanitation standards. If the site fails to meet these standards, the DEQ and DPS will jointly inform the municipality or county, which will then have 90 days to remove the unauthorized camp; if they fail to do so, the DPS will remove it within the following 60 days. The DEQ and DPS are also tasked with creating rules to implement these provisions.
