AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the eligibility of households for inclusion in a municipality's affordable housing inventory. Specifically, it allows the chief executive officer of a municipality to include up to 50% of the total number of resident households living in manufactured homes within that municipality as income-eligible households, solely for the purpose of counting units for certification of the municipality's affordable housing plan. The Department of Housing and Economic Development is required to include these manufactured home households in the municipality's total number of eligible units for certification, regardless of the actual income of those households, once the department is satisfied that the reported number of manufactured homes is accurate. The bill also requires the Secretary of Housing and Community Development to adopt regulations consistent with the act within 90 days of its effective date.
