Relating to camping on public property.
HB 3462 bans camping on most public property in Oregon, including parks, highways, sidewalks, and public buildings, unless the area is designated as a camping site. The law specifically excludes school lands and state forests from the ban. Violating this prohibition is a Class E offense punishable by a maximum $100 fine. The bill directly affects individuals camping in public spaces like parks, sidewalks, and highway rights-of-way, while allowing camping on school lands and state forests as defined by existing law.
