Model Legislation – Camping Ban Amendments

This model legislation offers a framework for amending legislation proposing a camping ban. This example should only be used when a camping ban has already been introduced and there is strong insistence on keeping that language during negotiations with the legislature. This provision removes tickets, fines, and arrests, while requiring coordination with outreach teams, prohibits the removal of personal property, and ensures extended engagement periods between law enforcement contact—prioritizing connection to housing and services.
