Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
HB 2266 makes counties and cities treat permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency shelters and indoor emergency housing the same as other residential or lodging projects for permits and environmental review. It also sets limits on design‑review hearings, requires basic certification from shelter sponsors, and allows limited negotiations on health‑safety rules when sites are near schools or other shelters. Existing facilities are protected from new local barriers.
