An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for permitted use of public space; and, in matters affecting government units, further providing for exceptions to sovereign immunity.

This bill update shifts the status of HB 2028 from its initial introduction to a version amended and reported by the Judiciary Committee. The most significant substantive change involves expanding protections for vehicles used by individuals experiencing homelessness; the text now explicitly exempts vehicles parked in public spaces or serving legitimate government functions from being moved or towed, whereas the previous version only protected vehicles not obstructing traffic. Additionally, the bill now grants individuals the right to file civil lawsuits against government entities that enforce rules violating the new permitted use of public space chapter.
