AN ACT CONCERNING UTILITY CONNECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

Summary

The bill defines accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and affordable ADUs, then requires every municipality to allow at least one ADU on each single‑family lot as a matter of right. It limits the size of ADUs, removes requirements such as extra parking, separate utility billing, and relationship rules, and stops towns from charging new utility connection fees for ADUs. Municipalities must adopt compatible zoning rules by Jan. 1, 2023, or their old rules become void, though they can opt out by a two‑thirds vote after a public hearing.
