Bill > H0603

This bill revises provisions related to camping on state-owned or leased property, including the capitol mall, by clarifying what constitutes "camping" and "indicia of camping" (signs of camping), and allows for temporary canopies or similar covers without side walls to be used for protection from rain or snow, as long as they are not used for sleeping. It also updates rules regarding the disposition of property found on state land, stating that any property left in violation of a statute or rule, or left unattended, will be held for at least ninety days before being deemed abandoned and disposed of. Additionally, the bill makes technical corrections to language concerning the management of state facilities, specifically the capitol mall properties, and clarifies that these properties may be identified in administrative rules. Finally, the bill declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
