I don't recall that. There is a bill in the legislature now that is cracking down on encampments. Had to look it up...HB2718.

Short answer, it gives the city the power to remove the encampments if alternatives exist, and also spells out some rights of the homeless. I didn't read the entire bill (just the first few lines). There is also a similar senate bill, SB1593.

Kinda funny. One of the local stories I found while checking up on this said "criminalizes homelessness". But at least the SB does no such thing. It mandates arresting people committing crimes, but that seems rather redundant since we already do that (and have done since before statehood). The SB doesn't spell out any rights, as near as I can tell.
