Bill Summary

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 65 prohibiting a local government from adopting or enforcing certain restrictions on the occupancy of dwelling units; state that the prohibition does not affect a local government's ability to enforce safety codes including the state building code or any uniform code or administrative regulation related to fire safety or the construction or safety of buildings.

AI Summary

This bill, by creating a new section of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 65, prohibits local governments, including cities, counties, and various forms of consolidated or unified governments, from enacting or enforcing rules that limit the number of people who can live in a dwelling unit to fewer than two per bedroom or that restrict occupancy based on the occupants' relationships or marital status. However, this prohibition does not prevent local governments from enforcing existing safety regulations, such as the state building code or any uniform codes or administrative rules concerning fire safety, building construction, or general safety.
