AI Summary
This bill proposes to exempt very small communities (those with less than two-and-a-half square miles in size) from certain applications of the Dover Amendment, which restricts zoning regulations for land or structures used for religious or educational purposes. The bill finds that the Dover Amendment can impose undue economic, infrastructure, and other burdens on these very small communities, and aims to provide them with more flexibility in zoning decisions related to religious and educational facilities.
