AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island’s housing law that lets the town of Johnston impose an emergency moratorium on new low‑ and moderate‑income housing permit applications when a comprehensive project reaches 250 units or more. Applications submitted during the moratorium receive no special “grandfathered” treatment, and the pause lasts until the state’s permit requirements are changed. The measure aims to give Johnston a tool to manage large housing proposals.
