KILLED – SUPPORT
SUPPORT: SB932 – Accessory Dwelling Unit Zoning Standardization
STATUS: This bill previously passed in the House and this morning, 2/17, was killed in the Senate Rules Committee because no committee member made a motion for the bill to receive a vote.
This bill establishes statewide standards for accessory dwelling units (ADUs), promoting housing flexibility by requiring localities to permit ADUs in single-family residential zones. The legislation balances local regulatory needs with homeowner rights, creating a streamlined process for ADU development while maintaining reasonable restrictions on size, location, and occupancy to protect neighborhood characteristics and property values.
