A Grants Pass law banning camping in public spaces was ruled unconstitutional by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling was challenged in, and overturned by, the Supreme Court.

The ruling does not make it a crime to camp in public spaces. It merely deems that a locality has not violated a homeless person’s Eigth Amendment rights by issuing a citation or making an arrest for camping in public.

Oregon House Bill 3115, which prohibits localities in Oregon from enacting outright bans on all camping in public places, remains in effect.
