On Wednesday, North Carolina Gov.
On Wednesday, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein vetoed a bill that would have largely banned homeless camps and public sleeping statewide. The bill, which Stein called “poorly constructed,” would have also established drug-free service zones for people without housing, and made selling or delivering drugs in those zones Class E felonies. Currently, homeless encampments are regulated through local laws across the state. Encampments are banned on public property in Raleigh, and the city has removed a few over the past couple of years.
