The bill amends Section 42-128-8.1 of the Rhode Island Housing Resources Act of 1998. It specifies that affordable housing shall include accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as defined in 45-24-31, provided that the ADU is a long-term rental unit located in a city or town that has not adopted an ordinance requiring a minimum lot size for ADUs. This change aims to enhance the availability of affordable housing options in Rhode Island. The act will take effect upon passage.
