A proposal advancing at the Connecticut Capitol would require the state to give two weeks notice before clearing homeless encampments on state property. The legislation would mandate written notices in English and Spanish detailing when removals will occur. Supporters say the added time helps connect people with services, but some lawmakers argue the 14-day window is too long and could create safety concerns. The bill does allow exceptions in emergencies involving public safety or infrastructure. If approved by the full House, the measure would expand on the state’s current policy of giving at least 72 hours notice before clearing encampments.
