Fresh lawsuit hits Oregon city at the heart of Supreme Court ruling on homeless encampments

A small Oregon city is facing a fresh lawsuit over its homeless camping rules. Disability Rights Oregon sued Grants Pass on Thursday. The city is the heart of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that allowed cities across the country to enforce camping bans. The advocacy group is accusing the city of violating a state law requiring camping regulations to be “objectively reasonable.” Grants Pass has banned camping on all city property except where allowed by the City Council. The council recently closed one of two designated campsites and made the remaining smaller one only open overnight. The city didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
