The state is releasing a model ordinance that cities can use as a basis for their own local anti-encampment ordinances.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Monday called on hundreds of cities and counties to ban homeless encampments on sidewalks, bike paths, and other public property, increasing pressure on local governments to follow the state‘s lead.

There are no more excuses,” the California governor said in pushing for municipalities to address one of the most visible byproducts of homelessness.
