This bill, titled "Zoning Ordinances," adds a new section to Chapter 45-24 of the General Laws entitled "Home-based businesses." The new section states that individuals operating a home-based business that meets the criteria for a home office tax deduction according to the Internal Revenue Code may operate without securing any approvals from their municipality. However, there are certain restrictions, such as not storing chemicals or hazardous materials, not parking heavy equipment on the premises, and using no more than 10% of the premises for parking in connection with the business. This act would take effect upon passage.
