It introduces a prohibition on accessory dwelling units in applications for low- or moderate-income housing projects within Tiverton. Specifically, applications filed in the town shall not include accessory dwelling units as part of any project, and once final approval has been granted, no accessory dwelling units may be added to the project.

The bill outlines that for the purposes of this section, an "accessory dwelling unit" is defined as a residential living unit on the same lot where the principal use is legally established as a single-family or multi-family dwelling unit. The act takes effect upon passage.
