§4357-B. Homeless shelters
                  1. 
                                Definition. 
                                As used in this section, "homeless shelter" means a housing facility, the primary purpose of which is to provide temporary overnight accommodations to persons experiencing homelessness who are guests in either a dormitory-style or dwelling-unit-style arrangement or any combination of such arrangements.
                                     
                                
                [PL 2025, c. 156, §1 (NEW).]
              
                  2. 
                                Homeless shelters may not be prohibited. 
                                A municipality may not prohibit homeless shelters in the municipality.  This prohibition does not limit a municipality's home rule authority to reasonably regulate homeless shelters.
