AI Summary

This bill requires the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) to administer the affordable housing obligations of municipalities based on a statewide obligation, rather than a regional obligation. The bill makes changes to COAH's responsibilities, including determining the present and prospective statewide need for low and moderate income housing, allocating portions of that need to municipalities, and developing a fair share plan for each municipality to satisfy its obligation. The bill also makes changes to the process for municipalities to receive substantive certification from COAH and the subsequent review and mediation process. Overall, this bill shifts the focus of affordable housing obligations from a regional to a statewide approach.
