Additionally, once final approval has been granted for a comprehensive permit project in Tiverton, no accessory dwelling units may be added to the project.

The bill outlines the procedure for the approval of construction of low- or moderate-income housing, including the definition of government subsidies as defined in 45-53-3. It emphasizes the need for municipalities to streamline the approval process for low- and moderate-income housing projects while maintaining local oversight. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
