The bill proposes new regulations aimed at limiting municipal control over residential development in Minnesota. Specifically, it introduces a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, chapter 462, which prohibits municipalities from imposing aesthetic mandates on building permits, subdivision developments, or planned unit developments that are not required by the State Building Code. Additionally, the bill restricts municipalities from enforcing minimum square footage requirements for residential properties.

An exception is included in the bill, stating that these limitations do not apply to residential developments that are initiated by the municipality itself. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
