Right To Rest Bill

(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Legislature is considering a new bill called the Right to Rest Act. It would decriminalize camping in public places. Supporters say it's necessary to give people who can't afford housing a right to camp. Opponents say it will encourage more homeless camps where people can't get the support they need for behavioral health issues and addiction treatment. A public hearing on the bill will be held May 4th.
