Today, Friday, June 28th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that will affect all cities and counties. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court reversed the 9th\u00a0Circuit rulings in this and the Martin v. Boise<\/em> cases, and held that enforcement of ordinances relating to public camping, storage of personal property and overnight camping in cars does not violate the Eighth Amendment protection against \u201cCruel and Unusual Punishment\u201d whether or not alternative shelter is available.\u00a0 The Court recognized that homelessness is a complex problem and there may be a variety of solutions \u2013 or combinations of solutions.\u00a0 However, it deferred to local agencies to determine how best to regulate and enforce these issues, and gives local agencies the full toolbox of solutions to deal with them.<\/p>\n

Moving forward, cities will be able to regulate and enforce their ordinances related to\u00a0public camping, vehicle camping, and personal storage without\u00a0the Martin v. Boise restrictions that were implemented back in 2018.<\/a> <\/strong>All cities are affected by this legal ruling.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/civicalaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240628-JohnsonvGrantsPass-legalupdate-insert.png” alt=”20240628-JohnsonvGrantsPass-legalupdate-insert” title_text=”20240628-JohnsonvGrantsPass-legalupdate-insert” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]
