AI Summary
This bill provides regulations for the adoption of local ordinances for the creation of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are defined as attached or detached residential units that provide independent living facilities on the same lot as a primary residence. The bill requires local governments to allow for the creation of at least one ADU per lot, sets standards for ADUs, and prohibits certain local restrictions. It also provides for the inclusion of an ADU in the definition of "housing accommodation" under the state's human rights law, eliminating an exemption for the rental of certain small housing units by owner-occupants. Additionally, the bill establishes a state program to assist low- and moderate-income homeowners in financing the creation of ADUs and includes tenant protections for ADU rentals.
