relating to property. Providing that individuals may sleep on property they own or have a legal right to occupy.

CACR 16 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would add a new right to the New Hampshire Constitution, protecting individuals who own property or have a legal right to occupy it from being prohibited from sleeping there. The amendment states that no law or ordinance may restrict this activity solely because it involves sleeping, as long as the person's presence on the property is otherwise lawful. It directly affects property owners and tenants with legal occupancy rights by preventing local governments from criminalizing sleeping on their own property or property they lawfully occupy. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2026 general election to take effect.
