Republican legislative leaders are spending $15,000 to file a legal brief aimed at protecting the ability of state lawmakers to enact laws to clear homeless encampments and cite those who are living on the street. In the papers filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, the private attorney hired by Senate President Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, and House Speaker Ben Toma, R-Peoria, argues that unless the justices overturn a lower court ruling, states will not be able to enact statutes that they say not only enhance the safety of residents but also protect homeless people from the risks of unlawful encampments.
