Provides that a unit of local government may not prohibit the building or usage of accessory dwelling units in the unit of local government. Provides that a unit of local government may provide reasonable regulations relating to the size and location of accessory dwelling units similar to other accessory structures unless a regulation would have the effect of prohibiting accessory dwelling units.

AI Summary

This bill creates the Local Accessory Dwelling Unit Act, which prohibits local governments from banning the construction or use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are secondary residential units on the same property as a primary residence. The bill allows local governments to impose reasonable regulations on the size and location of ADUs, but they cannot effectively prohibit them. The bill also limits the home rule powers of local governments, preventing them from regulating ADUs in a manner inconsistent with the Act.
