Summary

The bill adds a new Indiana Code section that forces local zoning ordinances to treat affordable housing projects by religious developers as a permitted use in all residential and commercial zones. It applies only when the land is owned by a religious institution, the project is approved by the local legislative body, contains only affordable units, and all required permits are obtained. Existing zoning rules that conflict with this requirement become void after July 1, 2026, except for pending applications filed before that date.
