Summary
The bill voids any deed or HOA rule that unreasonably prevents the construction or use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or junior ADUs on land zoned for single‑family homes. It also obligates local agencies to automatically approve two detached new‑construction ADUs on such lots, while limiting the combination of units allowed. The changes aim to expand housing options and reduce restrictive covenants.
