AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding inclusionary zoning, which requires developers to include a certain percentage of affordable housing in their projects. Specifically, it allows the town of Tiverton to determine the "density bonuses" – additional market-rate units a developer can build in exchange for including affordable housing – based on the town's existing zoning regulations, rather than a statewide standard. The bill also states that it will become effective immediately upon being passed.
