OR HB3876

Amends ORS 195.530 to create a safe harbor protecting cities and counties from lawsuits challenging certain camping regulations on public property

Allows local governments to prohibit camping on public property between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. without facing legal challenges under the statute

Permits bans on camping in, on, or adjacent to: city halls, courthouses, police/fire stations, libraries, parks, utility infrastructure, playgrounds, sporting fields, highways, and flood zones

Establishes distance-based restrictions: 300 feet from business entrances, 500 feet from homeless service sites, and 1,000 feet from childcare facilities

Expands the factors courts must consider when evaluating reasonableness of camping laws to include impact on other property users, available resources, and intended property use; declares an emergency for immediate effect upon passage
