The Homeless Bill of Rights, the name applied to a new bill
that recently soared through the California Assembly’s
Judiciary Committee on a 7-2 vote, is the latest in a long
line of California legislation that has grabbed national attention
for its sheer lunacy. At the current rate, California’s
“differently sheltered” will be the only residents left with any
rights.
Its worst provisions have been stripped away and I doubt the governor will sign something that so thoroughly offends city officials, but the proposal does epitomize the mock-worthy nature of so much of the thinking that dominates this state’s government. Legislators in all states introduce crazy stuff to make a point. But in California, these strange bills actually can make it to the governor’s desk.
