Senate passes bill making accessory dwellings more available to ease housing crisis

The Senate unanimously passed a bill requiring local governments to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on existing properties, limiting restrictions like parking and homestead exemption denial. ADUs, smaller independent homes, increase affordable workforce housing. Amendments include allowing reusable tenant screening reports and restricting ADU rentals to terms longer than 30 days to prevent short-term vacation rentals.
