The bill amends Section 45-53-4 of the General Laws concerning "Low and Moderate Income Housing" by establishing specific provisions for comprehensive permit projects in the town of Tiverton. Notably, the bill prohibits the inclusion of accessory dwelling units in any applications for comprehensive permits filed in Tiverton. This means that such units cannot be part of any proposed low- or moderate-income housing projects within the town.

Additionally, the bill outlines that once final approval has been granted for a comprehensive permit project in Tiverton, no accessory dwelling units may be added to the project. The legislation defines an "accessory dwelling unit" as a residential living unit located on the same lot where the principal use is legally established as a single-family or multi-family dwelling unit.

The act is set to take effect upon passage.
