The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7032 aims to establish a program to assist municipalities in developing preapproved building plans for residential dwellings. The bill mandates that by July 1, 2026, the Commissioner of Housing will create and manage this program, which includes the development of model design plans that municipalities can adopt as part of their zoning or subdivision regulations. These plans will be made accessible on the Department of Housing's website.
The bill introduces new legal language, specifically stating that the program will be effective starting July 1, 2025, and it establishes a new section in the law. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily focuses on the introduction of new provisions to facilitate the development of preapproved building plans for residential construction.
