Johnhicks, yes, it is now a federal case in the state of Colorado between a church (their private property) who brings in visiting ministers with their RVs (and have been doing this for years) versus the local municipality or county. I'll try to find the case. US Constitutional Law is involved.
The Tennessee problem is that it is written too broad, so much so that it requires the townships to totally enforce it (which takes a lot of money) and takes away the power to run their own towns while affecting their small economy. If the Tennessee law was written strictly to run the homeless out of the state, then say that in the law; don't be political hypocrits and have it inclusive of tourism. All very small Tennessee towns do not have RV parks, but they do need RV tourists cash for their economy while driving through. The state says these towns will be penalized if they don't enforce the state law; well, then, the state should provide the money to do it.
