When the ball dropped on January 1, 2023, hundreds of new laws went into effect across the country. These bills cover a wide range of policy areas and tackle topics from the quirky to the serious. Some are aimed at addressing ongoing national issues, such as gun control and the debate over climate change. Others address more local concerns, such as homelessness and voting access.
For example, a Missouri law makes it a misdemeanor to sleep or camp without authorization on state-owned land. In a law review article, an attorney says the new law is intended to discourage people from staying overnight on public property and is an important step in addressing the state’s growing homeless population. Other laws in the article include one allowing a city to use up to 25% of its public safety funds toward the creation of homeless outreach teams.
