California State Law Expands RV Disposal Program in Los Angeles
What happened
Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 647, a state law that expands the pilot program for permanently disposing of abandoned RVs valued at $4,000 or less. Mayor Karen Bass's Inside Safe initiative used this new law during an operation on October 8 in Downtown Los Angeles. That operation moved 35 individuals experiencing homelessness into safe housing and removed 20 vehicles, including 14 RVs, from the streets.

Why it matters
The Inside Safe program aims to resolve street-level encampments that had previously affected businesses along the Alameda Corridor, a major freight route carrying millions of dollars of goods into Los Angeles. The new state law provides the legal framework to remove abandoned RVs that were cited as endangering neighborhoods.
