Summary

The bill amends state zoning law to let every municipality permit one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) per lot under specific conditions and sets minimum size standards. It bars local governments from imposing many common restrictions such as extra fees, parking requirements, or discriminatory rules. Municipalities may still add optional requirements like owner‑occupancy periods or affordable‑rent limits, but those are not mandatory.
