Assemblyman Phil Palmesano says, the new budget includes new laws on squatters, which makes them easier to evict.  However, Palmesano noted that there’s nothing in the new laws to help law enforcement convict the squatters.  "The new law is a step in the right direction, but it could have gone farther in my opinion, in making it possible for police to arrest squatters," said Assemblyman Palmesano.
