HB877

HB877 prohibits encampments within 100 feet of K-12 schools to ensure safety and well-being.

HB877 establishes a buffer zone of 100 feet around K-12 public and private schools where encampments are prohibited. This law aims to protect students, staff, and communities from safety, health, and environmental hazards posed by nearby encampments. Violators face immediate removal, and law enforcement can assist in enforcing this provision. The Department of Education, charter schools, and private schools may collaborate with law enforcement to identify and remove encampments within the buffer zone.
