For those concerned with all things Camp Quixote here is some news of note. Hearing is Monday.

Feb. 19 Scheduled for public hearing in the House Committee on Housing at 1:30 PM. (Subject to change)

HB 2244 - DIGEST
Declares that, due to concerns about maintaining freedom of religious expression, faith communities shall not be restricted from hosting temporary encampments for the homeless. A temporary encampment may be subject to reasonable compliance requirements related to public health and safety. However, no county, city, or town shall set less than ninety days as the maximum duration for homeless encampments.

See the text of the bill here.
