The bill amends Chapter 45-53 of the General Laws regarding "Low and Moderate Income Housing" by adding a new section, 45-53-17, specifically for the town of Tiverton. This new provision allows Tiverton to mandate the provision of two parking spaces for each studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom low- or moderate-income housing unit. This requirement can be enforced when the municipality determines that there is limited or no local public transportation or off-street parking available within a reasonable distance from these housing units.

The act is designed to address potential transportation challenges faced by residents of low- or moderate-income housing in Tiverton, ensuring that adequate parking is available when public transport options are insufficient. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage.
