Establishes additional factors for municipal adjustment used in calculating fair share affordable housing obligations; provides population-based cap for housing obligations.

Summary

The legislation changes how New Jersey towns calculate their fair‑share affordable housing duties by allowing additional land‑use exclusions and by setting a cap on obligations tied to population size. It also eliminates the Council on Affordable Housing, gives towns protection from exclusionary‑zoning lawsuits if they meet filing deadlines, and requires the Department of Community Affairs to produce regional need reports. The changes affect every municipality that must meet the state’s affordable‑housing formula.
