An act relating to use of public lands by individuals for life-sustaining activities

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent local governments from prohibiting people from using public property for basic needs like resting or sleeping, unless there are adequate indoor spaces available. It also adds "housing status" to the list of protected characteristics in laws related to public accommodations, housing, and employment, meaning people cannot be discriminated against based on whether they are experiencing homelessness.
