AI Summary
This bill restores the requirement that a local review board, which is a local planning board or commission, must provide specific findings when denying a comprehensive permit request for affordable housing development. A comprehensive permit allows an applicant to seek approval for building low- and moderate-income housing through a single application instead of multiple separate ones. The bill also clarifies that affordable housing units must be included in every town and city at the time building permits for those units are issued.
