This bill introduces a limited license exemption for supportive housing options specifically designed for individuals with developmental disabilities. It amends RSA 151:2, II(a) to clarify that the exemption applies not only to facilities caring for one person or three or fewer individuals but also to buildings that house both independent individuals and those receiving services under RSA 126-A:19 and RSA 126-A:20. Additionally, the exemption extends to any entity providing housing for three or more individuals receiving these services, as long as these individuals are not mandated to use the entity for personal assistance or any health-related or supportive services beyond room and board.

The bill aims to enhance housing options for individuals with disabilities by reducing regulatory barriers while ensuring that they have access to necessary services. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is September 5, 2025. The changes made in the bill are intended to promote inclusivity and support for individuals with developmental disabilities within the community.
