AN ACT CONCERNING UTILITY CONNECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

Summary

The law changes the term “accessory apartment” to “accessory dwelling unit” and bars municipalities, districts and utilities from treating an ADU as a new residential use for connection fees or requiring a separate utility hookup. It also creates statewide zoning defaults that allow at least one ADU on every single‑family lot, limits its size, and speeds up the permitting timeline. The changes are meant to make ADUs cheaper and easier to build, expanding housing options.
