AI Summary

This bill amends the state's affordable housing law, Chapter 40B, in several key ways. Firstly, it extends the time period for which units approved under the law can be counted towards a municipality's affordable housing stock. Secondly, it allows municipal zoning boards to propose an alternate location for affordable housing developments within a designated "smart growth" zoning district, as long as the applicant agrees to the new location. Lastly, the bill requires the state's housing agency to provide outreach and education to municipalities on the benefits and process of adopting smart growth zoning districts, which can help facilitate more affordable housing development.
