A Senate bill would give homeless people in California the “right to rest” in public places from shopping centers, public transit facilities to parks.

Under SB 608 by state Sen. Carol Liu, D- La Cañada Flintridge, also includes sidewalks. This means a rental property owner couldn’t move a homeless person who was, say, sleeping in front of a leasing office. Moreover, CAA has argued previously that this type of legislation would include a prohibition from eviction.
