Summary

The bill lets developers submit one comprehensive permit when at least 25% of a project is low‑ or moderate‑income housing, and it sets density‑bonus and other incentives that vary by a municipality’s existing affordable‑housing share. It also limits parking and bedroom requirements and prevents local rules that block new residential units. The goal is to make affordable housing easier to build across the state.
